With the NMRA convention coming up in Kansas City this summer, both
Railroad Model Craftsman and
Model Railroad Hobbyist are doing their part to publicize the event. As many of you may know, the Stockton & Copperopolis has been featured in both publications recently: the November 2017 issue of RMC and the March 2018 MRH.

As another means of making people aware of the convention, just before Christmas, Barry Silverthorn of Trainmasters Video visited my railroad and a few others in the area. He spent about a day video taping our layouts and interviewing the owners. That video was just released on the Trainmasters website (
https://trainmasters.tv/)
Both RMC and MRH did a real good job of showing off the railroad and Trainmasters was no exception. The 23-minute production covered a great deal of the railroad and even made me look halfway decent. My thanks to Barry and my frequent operator, Mark Davidson, who spent the day helping me during the filming.
For those of you thinking of coming to the convention, it looks like it's going to be a good event. The people in charge are working hard to make sure that of its success. If you don't read it already, check out
Model Railroad Hobbyist. Joe Fugate does an excellent job and there is a heavy emphasis on photos to tell the story. The best part is that it's free. Trainmasters, however, is a subscription service but there are many, many videos of layout visits and how-to-do-it subjects. I've only seen a couple but they are very professionally done. It seems well worth the price.
See you at the convention!
