From the Backshop

February has a lot going on - the Winter Olympics in Italy, the Super Bowl in California, and in just a little over 4 months the Region's Convention in South Dakota! Luckily, we've got contest news from Gary Myers, the latest updates on what to plan for in Rapid City - registration info, lodging, clinics - even a video for you to watch!

Greg Long, AP Chair, is announcing yet another new Master Model Railroader in the region.

And, we have lots on this year's Region elections - general election notes, plus info on current and prospective leadership positions for you to review.

Remember - please share and send any pics or videos you take at a club meeting, train show, or railfan excursion, as well as any announcements or articles you may have for the next issue of the Callboard at jwp519@gmail.com (please include CALLBOARD in the subject line). The Callboard Spring Edition's deadline for submissions is April 19, 2026.  

p.s. Restoration of older issues of the Callboard is ongoing - your patience is appreciated.

Now back to the heavy lifting, 

Jeff
