This is a reminder that the San Francisco Bay Area O Scale Modelers meeting will be held at the Golden State Model Railroad Museum in Point Richmond tomorrow, Saturday, November 18, starting at 10 am. The meeting will be held rain or shine.  It looks as if it will rain tomorrow morning.

This will be an informal meeting.  The primary topic will be battery operation in O scale.  Everyone interested in O scale modeling is invited to this free event.  Bring a model for show and tell.

Attendees will get a chance to run a train on the 4,000 sq. ft. GSMRM O scale 2-rail layout.  You are invited to bring a train to run.  The layout has both DC and DCC loops.  We expect the meeting to end about noon when those that wish will be going to lunch at a to be determined Richmond restaurant.
