Great Meeting Last Saturday seeing Shannon Crabtree’s Virginia Midland
The James River Division had a great meeting last Saturday virtually touring Shannon Crabtree’s Virginia Midland. This 1980s prototype freelance short line goes from Fredericksburg to Orange long after the original line disappeared from the railroad scene. Shannon has packed a large amount of operation into his layout. The four videos elicited quite a number of questions and comments. If you missed the meeting Shannon has posted the first video to You Tube https://youtu.be/YjMtwt1bRdQ Please consider subscribing to Shannon’s feed on You Tube

Moves and new Options
A post from excellent modeler Trevor Marshall who has moved recently. This is something that seems to be happening to many of us. New venues mean new opportunities.

Good Meeting Today
It was a good day today for a James River Division meeting. We started at 9AM with just a few socializing and by the time the meeting started we had 16 of us in attendance. George Gaige treated us to a clinic on how to install headlights in HO scale vehicles. George noted he has many vehicles with lights and saved a bundle by using his method which combined items he found on the internet and through experience. There is a handout in the Handouts Page and a fuller explanation will appear in a future issue of Crossties. Our next JRD meeting will be January 9th and our next hangout will be Friday November 27th. All JRD members and and friends of the JRD are welcome to attend the meetings. Come join us
November 2020 Virtual Meet
The November 2020 Meet for the James River Division will be virtual. It will feature a social time prior to the meeting for members starting at 9 AM and a clinic starting at 10 AM on putting LED Headlights in HO Scale Vehicles. The handout for it is Here. To attend the clinic please contact the Superintendent via email at Superintendent@jrdnmra.com - Please include your name and if you are a NMRA member though this is not required

Meeting Virtually
We have now had one division meet virtually and several bull sessions using Zoom as out platform. I am quite encouraged by the response. Though it does not substitute for in person interaction it does allow us to keep up with each other and continue to grow relationships. I hope to keep up the every other week sessions until the current restrictions lift and all feel safe to venture out. Even after this point I hope you will give feedback whether we should continue these online sessions and with what frequency.
On a personal note I want to say thank you for all the feedback on options for the floor plan of my anticipated new basement. Lots of good ideas from years of experience by fellow members will hopefully prevent mistakes and increase enjoyment
We still need a clinician for the next meeting in November along with a home tour. Both items could be prerecorded with time for questions and answers. If you are interested in filling either role please let me know

NMRAx event this weekend
This Saturday the 16th of May there will be another NMRAx event from 6am to 6pm EDT on Facebook. The first one was well received and the quality was outstanding for a first event and I expect this one will be an improvement over the last one. The topics look good
