Northern Ontario Railroad Museum and Heritage Centre in Capreol
Next Meeting April 5
The next meeting of the Sudbury Railway Modellers will take place Wednesday April 5, 2017, 7pm at the Heritage Center (NORMHC) in Capreol.
We look forward to seeing you at this meeting. Progress on the layout has been steady and changes are evident.
The layout will be having it’s official grand opening on May 20 as a part of NORMHC’s Open House and “Big Truck Meet Up”, so many visitors are expected.
Next Meeting March 8
The next meeting of the Sudbury Railway Modelers will be Wednesday, March 8, 2017, 7:30PM at the Heritage Center.
The meeting will start downstairs at the layout. I encourage everyone to take a good look at the layout and see if you can determine what has changed since our February meeting. Also, go in with a dreamer’s eye to see if you can identify areas of opportunity that we may be able to undertake before our 2017 Summer Season as a vital part of the Northern Ontario Railroad Museum & Heritage Centre.
