Winter Clinics
Every winter Scale Rails of South West Florida conducts clinics which are open to the Public. These clinics
are held at our clubhouse, the Depot, starting at 10:00am and lasting about 1 - 1 1/2 hours on Saturdays, and are free
of charge. Clinics, which are conducted by club members, cover many elements of model railroading and are intended
to introduce people to some techniques for doing various aspects of modeling. Many of our members got their start by
attending these clinics.

H&R Block Fundraising Activity "H&R Block, the tax
preparation professionals, has a
fundraising promotion for not-for-profit
corporations such as Scale Rails of
Southwest Florida, Inc. Individuals who
want to have H&R Block prepare their tax
returns provide H&R Block with a copy of
the referral form and when their tax
return is complete the H&R Block will
send Scale Rails of Southwest Florida,
Inc., a check for $25. It costs the
individual nothing beyond the normal H&R
Block fees, and it costs Scale Rails of
Southwest Florida, Inc. nothing as
well. The only restriction is that you
must be considered a new client to H&R
Block, which means that you must not
have had your 2006 tax returns prepared
by H&R Block. If you are considering
having H&R Block do your returns, please
print out the referral flyer below and
take it to your local H&R Block office
when you first go in to have your
returns prepared. We would appreciate
it very much."Click on link below to get

The Club has finished
rebuilding our N-scale modular
layout so that it meets NTRAK
standards. It is set up in
the front room of the Depot.
Basic scenery is finished, but
lots more is needed.
Member Dan Cermak has built and
donated to the Club two 6 foot
modules with standard and
intricate switching track, as
well as lots of buildings.
He also has built two basic end
pieces. These modules are
now fully functional, and about
50% sceniced. We will be
continuing to work on these
modules.
