Morning Tea
Flat Cars—Protype to Model The presentation covers the development of Flat Car/Platform Wagons over the decades, loading principles and quick look at some of the loads they carried for both narrow and standard gauge railways/railroads. Plus, some tips on how to model them, making loads and adding them to your rollingstock.	You will have an understanding on how to build your own flat car/platform wagon, make loads and enhance your rollingstock that will assist you to have prototype operations.		Arthur Hay
Format: Presentation – up to 60 people, Kingston Town Room
Scratch Building Industrial Sites Sometimes the scene you want is not supported by kits. Scratch building is easy and we will walk through making an industrial scene. We will have examples of a building from the “mock up” to final finish for you to see and touch.	You will have confidence to scratch build a model using easily available tools and materials.

A Newcastle Rail and Industry Museum Rail museums, often including working train layouts, are becoming more common and more professional, such as the recently established Bathurst Rail Museum. This clinic will look at similar museums around the world, and discuss ideas for a Newcastle Rail and Industry Museum, covering the rail, maritime, industrial and architectural heritage of Newcastle. It will include a presentation and workshop to explore its potential management, design and operation.	Newcastle’s unique history, and museum designs from around the world. Also an opportunity to help shape this initiative.		Garry Glazebrook

LCC – The Current State of Use in Layouts LCC has now been around for almost 20 years. We will look at the very basic implementation, attempt to resolve the confusion between DCC and LCC, and talk about some current LCC products. We will demonstrate some locally made products and show how LCC works with and without the need for computer systems and describe lessons learnt from Michael Peters Cooinda layout for the past eleven years.	A clearer understanding of the role LCC plays in the control of model railway layouts.		Chris Minahan

1.15 pm	Running full prototype length model trains Many model railway enthusiasts will tell you that small scale model locomotives can’t pull a scale load. This is true for some off the shelf models and is mostly a problem for steam locomotives with tenders. This talk explores the various ways to achieve prototype length train operations.	The basic theory about friction and rolling resistance. How to improve locomotive tractive effort How to decrease the train rolling resistance Layout design factors.			Terry Flynn

(1h 45m)	Baseline Weathering I’ll present the five basic steps I use to improve the prototypical appearance and create some individuality to all my rolling stock: • Trucks/couplers • Paint fade • Washes • Drybrush / Highlights • Flat finish Although these techniques are presented in HO, they crossover to all scales. I utilise airbrushes but also present alternative techniques to achieve similar end results	The confidence to try some or all of these techniques and see what works for each individual modeler.
