From the Backshop

Welcome to a post-convention wrapup in this edition of the Callboard! 

A fun show for everyone able to attend, and if you couldn't, we've included the highlights here.

You'll get a complete overview of the Model Contest from retiring chair Bill Tulley, with all the results and photos of winning entries.

Rex Beistle comes through as usual with a wonderfully detailed, illustrated and informative 'Technical Corner' - but some special recognition goes out to Rex this time as he is recovering from a heart attack suffered earlier this summer. Please send many extra thoughts and thanks his way.

Another great article you'll enjoy comes from RMR President Gary Myers, on dealing with the kinks - and no, he's not talking about the rock band. Gary also introduces us to the newest members of the Region's board of directors - welcome!

Remember, if you have an article, photo, video or announcement you want to share with the Region, please send them our way for the next issue. My e-mail is jwp519@gmail.com - Doug Whetstone can be reached at uttrainman@gmail.com. The Callboard Fall Edition's deadline for your submissions is October 16, 2015.

Your comments are always invited - please send them our way. Making the Callboard a publication you look forward to receiving every quarter is our goal, but we need the continued help of RMR members to cover everything going on in our vast region.

Now, back to the heavy lifting!
