Updated Kitbash clinic from Chicagoland RPM

The file for the clinic, "Finding Kitbashing Opportunities in Freight Cars," as presented at the Chicagoland RPM, 26-28 October 2017, has been posted. It may be accessed via the link.

On a separate, related note, the Chicagoland RPM is in full rebound. Last year's event was a great success, although the crowds were down after a couple years of drifting. However, the enthusiasm generated by Mike Skibbe and his crew was palpable. This year's event was equally as good and the jump in crowd size definitely reflected the buzz generated by the 2016 conference. This event is well on its way to the prominence that it had during the heyday of the 1990s. Congratulations to Mike and his team! I am looking forward to 2018. The RPM calendar is chock full of good venues to scratch the prototype itch.
