As winter thaws, it becomes RPM season. Railroad Prototype Modeler meets are a great way to recharge the batteries after a tough winter. A solid presentation schedule and an extensive model display room are the two main components of these events. You will also meet some great people who share similar interests. I’ve enjoyed great conversations at RPM meets over the years that have pushed my model projects along. Many of these conversations have turned into wonderful friendships.
I’ll be attending RPM-East, which is coming up in just a couple of weeks. My presentation is about halfway ready.

I enjoy attending the CORPM in Marion, Ohio. I believe they are in their fifth year now. I have attended the last four years. I learn new things each year. We have a facebook page.
I helped out with the first two CORPM events. We may have bumped into each other years ago! – Eric
