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.

N-Scale Layout
The Club has finished
rebuilding our N-scale modular
layout so that it meets NTRACK
standards. It is set up in
the front room of the Depot.
Basic scenery is finished, but
lots more is needed.
Two 6 foot and 2 end modules are
fully functional and sceniced.
Dwight Sedgwick led a project to
create a switching puzzle layout
attached to the main NTRACK
configuration. The scenery
and buildings were just
completed. The NTRACK team
is now working to complete two
more six foot modules over the
next few months.
