V. Old Business

   A. Purchase of track and structures for roundhouse still needs to be completed. The recent rain storm has set back Trains by Johnson (TBJ). Orders for the roundhouse stalls should soon be on order.

   B. Reed has sent the DB150 and DCS200 to Digitrax for repairs.

   C. Reed reported on the progress being made on the work sessions at Building 648 NAS and the rewiring of the bridge module.

   D. Next is planning for and installing track work and the round house-turntable. Then comes electrical which will be for DCC only due to the major complexity of wiring for both DC and DCC.

The DCC will allow for single DC engines to travel on the track work under address "00" so all will not be lost for DC users. Still wiring will be tricky because both of the main lines will be entering

the engine service yard and it will be have to automatically block entry of DC engines from the main lines unless they are running under "00" control.

VI. New Business

   A. Jerry will look into getting a replacement tire, wheel and lock for the trailer. The one mounted but not locked on the trailer mysteriously and recently disappeared.

   B. Reed will present a short talk on methods for semi-quick weathering of rolling stock following the next meeting.

   C. A publicity flyer for the Club was discussed. TBJ would provide this flyer to customers and be available for customers.

       1. Reed is to purchase ink & paper and will print out the flyers on his home printer to save on printing costs.

       2. Bill wrote a check to Reed for $100 to cover costs.

   D. Due to a lack of a quorum, the actions of the May meeting will have to be accepted by the Club members as a whole at the June meeting.

VII. The meeting was adjourned at 7:39 PM
