Treasurers Report:

  

  The treasury remains in good shape. Moved and seconded, Dave Bodnar will be reimbursed for expenses related to the trolley.

 

Program:

           

Rich Aubel has purchased, and painted people figures for the trolley. 

He will be working on redoing the conductor figures to resemble Bill Baldwin the honoree of the project.   

 

Dave Bodnar has made a name tag modeled after a RR crossing sign with flashing LEDs.  They will be distributed at the Greenberg Show.  He has included a feature in the trolley so that the conductor will automatically rotate to face the correct direction when it reverses.

Warren has been helping Kent Miller’s wife in sorting Kent’s RR and tool collection.  His layout may be donated to Oil City.  Warren brought in Kent’s tools and spare parts for taking by the members.
