Manifest Destiny — Expanding the USMRR Aquia Line by
Bernie Kempinski
It is a well-known axiom that model railroads expand to fill all available space. Bernie will describe how he used system analysis tools to help design the optimal plan for his expanding O Scale USMRR Aquia Line railroad. He’ll also discuss what’s new on the railroad including an automated telegraph, random events, time table and train order operations in the 19th century. If you’re not interested in the techy stuff, there will be plenty of pretty pictures, bad jokes, and dancing girls. There will even be a movie. Just kidding about the dancing girls, but come anyway.
For those who missed the JMRI Decoder Pro Clinic at the November Joint Meeting there will be another chance at Jerry Stanley's Hobby Barn on December 9th. Space is limited.

Kurt Thompson, MMR®, Chesapeake Division’s AP Director will go over the requirements and paperwork needed for a member to earn this AP certificate. In a setting more of a seminar than a clinic, Kurt will also present the paperwork he submitted 25 years ago when he earned his first AP certificate. If you are interested in seeing through the “fog of the requirements” or just have some questions about your own paperwork, this clinic is for you. Bring along your paperwork as there will be time for questions and answers as well as some input about your paperwork. Remember that this certificate was easy enough that Kurt earned his.
