LATEST NEWS from the OT&W
July 2007 - Attention "N" Scalers. There is a change being incorporated into the module standards. The connecting track between the modules is changing from standard 'joiner' tracks to a customized Kato joiner. This will allow us to put them together at a much more rapid pace when we come together at a show. For further details either contact one of the presidency or attend the monthly meeting.
1/07 Following discussions and votes by the membership the OT&W is now a 100% NMRA membership club. With the annual show that takes place at Thanksgiving Point each year it is necessary to provide a major liability insurance policy on the event. In past years we have been able to 'piggyback' onto the regional NMRA organization for this coverage. That will no longer be acceptable. The insurance will be provided to us for a $25.00 service fee if we are a 100% club. If not, the coverage is not available from the NMRA. We would be required to go to an outside source and purchase this insurance which would be cost prohibitive. Besides this insurance there are also lots of great benefits to being a member of the NMRA. Many of those are listed below. Over the next few weeks we will be adding NMRA memberships for existing OT&W members. If you have not been contacted please call Dave Turner at 801-560-3376. If you would like to receive the NMRA publication "Scale Rails" the cost will be your responsibility.
