From the Backshop

Welcome to the August edition of the Callboard for 2026.

For all you convention go-ers, good news from Gary Myers on next year's joint convention with the Mid-Continent Region in Cheyenne - definitely need to mark your calendars now!

If you missed Rapid City, Greg Long, AP Chair, will get you all caught up on it's model contest results.

Another big request - please share and send any pics or videos you take railfanning, at a clinic during your local meeting, etc. to share with all. That includes any announcements or articles you may have that we could include in the next issue of the Callboard - just send them to jwp519@gmail.com (please include CALLBOARD in the subject line). The Callboard Fall Edition's deadline for submissions is October 18, 2026.  

Good news, too, as we have made some more progress on the Callboard archives - still have blanks to fill, but we're getting there, and again we thank you for your patience.

Now back to the heavy lifting, 

Jeff
