Fall edition of The SouthErneR online w/pix of Sandusky Coal Unloader model

Here is the address to the latest online version of SER's The
SouthErneR. I
have to apologize about the download size for anyone who still has
dialup
like me. It is a 6.3 MB download but it does have 70 pages with many,
many
color photos.

There is more on the Detroit contest including many detail photos of
the PRR
Sandusky Coal Unloader model plus a few photos of the present winner
and
some of the past winners of the William J. Lenior Award for best
scratch
built steam locomotive.

There is an article on the soon-to-start 5th annual Piedmont
Pilgrimage Home
Layout Tour which will run through the month of November and into the
first
weekend in December. The article features the DRGW HOn3 layout of Jim
Hoffman
whose layout has been used in a series of layout construction videos
by
Green Frog.

There are a couple of "how-to" or "how I did what" articles. There is
a look
at the SRR's former Norcross, GA train station - now a restaurant
still
located trackside in downtown Norcross.

There is also a day by day accounting of my experience before, during
and
after the Detroit convention as seen from the perspective of someone
who
helps run the contests at every national convention. It is a bit
different
from the "Oh Gee, Wow, I saw this and this and this..." perspective of
your
average convention attendee. More of a "down and dirty, this is what
you did
not see" perspective. However, before anyone runs off screaming about
"my
view of the Detroit convention contest", everything has been
repaired,
fixed, redone, or whatever was needed and we are running smoothly
again.
