Contributed by: Boulder Model Railroad Club on 8/28/2008

What:	NEXT › ‹ PREVIOUS The Boulder Model Railroad Club, a regional club with members from all over the front range, invites you to our next monthly meeting on Thursday, September 11th, at 7 p.m. in Louisville. The club meets on the 2nd Thursday of every month at the American Legion Hall, 1150 Pine St., Louisville. This year the club celebrates its 31st year of operation, and we welcome everyone who is interested in model trains or prototype railroads. The meetings feature a model display, a model contest and a clinic or speaker. The subject for September's contest is "Open", meaning just about anything goes in two categories: kit-built or scratch-built. Even non-railroad related models are welcome this month. Our clinic features Ken Jessen, who will provide a glimpse into the history and development of the Great Western Railway. Here's your chance to learn about a local railroad that has played a major role in the history of one of Colorado's primary sources of revenue for decades in the age of steam and still survives today. Ken is the author of "The Great Western Railway", introduced in 2007 Our club welcomes visitors and new members. Children under 14 years of age should be accompanied by a parent. For more information, call Doug Wright at 303-431-1430 or Russ Boehm at 303-776-5416.
