Newsflash
Image Greensboro Bicentennial Celebration Looking toward the future, we have voted to help the Greensboro Bicentennial Committee with their big celebration, which will be April 12 & 13, 2008.  We will have the club open extra hours that weekend to accommodate the festivities.  In addition, if they get permission from the City, we will try to have railroad exhibits around the Depot.  They will ask the City Monday.  We will need all of our membership to work that weekend, so please mark your calendars now.

Image In Remembrance - Bill Jewett

CMR lost a club member, Bill Jewett, in January.  While Bill was a new member, he had a very positive impact, bringing enthusiasm for our club, and a wealth of knowledge relative to operations.  In fact, Bill was the president of the NMRA’s OPSIG , or Operations Special Interest Group . For a nice tribute to Bill from one of his colleagues go to Rails On Wheels.

 

Projects
Image Children's Museum CMR designed and built the popular Lionel Layout formerly at the Greensboro Children's Museum in 1998. Since that time we have maintained and enhanced the layout as part of our continuing community outreach. Walt Sabin heads up CMR's effort to keep trains rolling at the Greensboro Children's Museum.
 
Workshops
Image Wheel Cleaning

By Ric Hodges: Buck Lineberry built this wheel cleaning  test track for N-scale Locomotives and Cars. Cut paper towels in strips and feed them through the copper wire "staple" to have fresh towels for each loco. The design keeps everyting neat and the dedicated track helps keep the mainline free from workbench activities.

  • Z Scale Projects
    ImageZ scale (1:220) is the smallest commercially available model railway scale with its track gauge of only 6.5 mm. Z scale was introduced by the German model train manufacturer Märklin in 1972 Nuremberg Toy Fair. It was a brainchild of Helmut Killian, Märklin's head design engineer at the time. Letter Z was chosen to designate the new scale as it was thought at the time that there would not be a commercial model railway scale even smaller than Z, in the future. Hence the last character of the alphabet in German and English languages.
     
  • HO Scale Projects
    ImageHO scale (H0 scale in continental Europe) is the most popular scale of model railway in most of the world (outside the United Kingdom, where the slightly larger 00 gauge is most common). The name is derived from the fact that its 1:87 scale is approximately half that of O scale, hence H0 or 'half zero'.
