What happens on a work night?

On work nights, members arrive around 7-8 pm at the layout space. Many members have tasks they are already working on for the evening, but there are plenty of projects available for those that are not already working on a project. Members work on tasks suited to their skills, but other members are willing to teach if someone is interested in learning.

Some projects being worked on now are:

Track installation in siding / off-main areas, such as the steel mill
Electrical installation of panels and wiring
Ballasting of yard and mainline trackage
Building of staging room
Building of support structures for areas where scenery will be installed later
Scenery on the branch line track
What do members bring with them?

Many of the members that come on work nights bring their own tools. They are working on projects that may require tools that are not normally available at the club. Some basic tools are available at the club and you may be able to borrow a tool from another member. What you need from home really depends on what you are working on. Some projects require no tools, so all you need to bring is yourself and a willingness to learn and put in some work time. Someone will have something for you to help with on a work night.

Come on in and see what we are doing. Maybe you'll find a project you'd like to work on!
