From the Backshop

Lots of great news, pictures, and information packed into this edition of the Callboard.

Denny Krausman and his gang have so much planned for next summer's Smoke & Steam in 2015 - already looking forward to it.

Those of us who have organized Regional conventions know how much work is involved - Dick Hunter takes a look back at some of the early shows in this edition's 'History Corner'.

And Rex Beistle introduces us to some of the movers and the shakers in our hobby, and why you don't want them visiting your layout! You'll understand after reading his installment of the 'Technical Corner'.

Remember, if you have an article, photo, 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 Winter Edition's deadline to get your articles, photos and videos to us by is January 19, 2015. 

As always, your comments are most welcome, so please send them our way. Improving and expanding the Callboard is our job and goal, but we need your help, too - members of the Rocky Mountain Region - because the Callboard is YOUR publication. We just want to make it the best it can be!

Now, back to the heavy lifting!
