Flyboy Jim, yes I exhibited at the Oregon Steam-up this year. I noticed your previous posting and saw you were near Salem and planned to advise you of the Mid Valley Model Engineers club. They meet on the third Saturday of the month and the location is at various members shops. You need to visit their website to apply for membership and get directions to meetings. I don't think there are any dues at this time. This is an excellent way for someone new to the hobby to get started. Hope to see you there soon.
Dave, yes we have met a couple of times. I was one of the organizers and often worked at the shows helping get people set up. I was an exhibitor at most of the shows. I also was the webmaster and posted pictures of each show. I have quite a few pictures of you and your exhibits. If you Google 1910 Olds Type A model you should see a picture of me posted by Captain Carlson that was taken at probably the 2011 show. Kim, I used to be a member of the Portland club but now am only a member in the Mid Valley Model Engineers. The Portland club is a great club to belong to. I have a question for you, is you avatar a picture of one of the GEARS models that we sold. If so what year?
