The times, they are a changing

Sam Carr, a new member who was at the meeting in July, has stepped up and volunteered to maintain the blog. He is going to try to retrieve the info that people inputted for Mall dates. He may need us to resend the dates. Keep an eye on the site in case he requests us to send our Mall dates.
Thank you Sam for undertaking this task. A lot of us look at the blog daily.

Board of Directors

At todays Board meeting, we affirmed that those who have not paid their 2014 dues will no longer receive the IRONHORSE. The IRONHORSE editor will include a notice in the next issue stating that it will be your last issue if you have not paid your 2014 dues.
If you are unsure if you are up to date, contact me (the Secretary) at BL2GSCALE@GMAIL.COM and I can verify your status.
Remember: we voted at the annual meeting in July to raise the dues to $15 and that dues are due in January.

Ivan's Legacy

Ivan's buildings are installed as far north as Paul Smith's layout in Lincoln, ME and as far south as my layout in Eliot, ME

Ivan Smith's track

A few of us are going to Buckfield on Friday to disassemble Ivan's track. We will be bringing the track back to Carl's house for viewing and sale. If you want some brass track, let us know. If you wish to purchase the buildings or rolling stock, let me know and I will bring them to Carl's also.

BLOG maintenance

FROM THE PRESIDENT: With John Jackson's passing, the blog will be slow to be maintained.   If someone is interested in maintaining the blog contact Carl or Terry.

Ivan's other stuff

split jaw rail clamps, both over the joiner and normal. $0.50 ea. They become available after the track gets disassembled.

Ivan's rolling stock

see oldest post for pricing. some have boxes. The SEABOARD SYSTEM is a Lionel. I think one of the tenders belongs with the MIKADO.
