Our Fall 2019 Division Meet was held on Saturday, November 9th at a nice new location for us, Northgate Baptist Church, in Greenville, SC.
High Tech, Low Cost DCC by Steve Todd
Using new technology such as smart phones and Raspberry Pi’s can significantly drop the initial cost of entry into DCC Model Railroading without giving up high functionality. Specifically, we'll demonstrate and discuss Engine Driver, WiThrottle, Digitrax, LnWi, MRC WiFi, RaspberryPi, PiSPROG, bluetooth remotes, and who knows what else......
Columbia 2019 Division Meet
Our Columbia 2019 Division Meet was held April 13 at Arsenal Hill Park in Columbia, SC. This historic building is home to the AMROC (Associated Model Railroads of Columbia) club.
This is the first time we've met in Columbia in a LONG time, so we adjusted the format a bit to provide more of an informational "show and tell". We had 22 in attendance, and shared a great deal of info. Steve Todd gave his "High Tech, Low Cost DCC" presentation and demo'ed some of his gadgetry. Rich Lehman and Clark Gregory shared the history and vision of AMROC, then we adjourned downstairs to check out this intriguing set of layouts in various scales. After lunch, we toured Rich Lehman's excellent basement layout. Everyone indicated the meeting was time well spent.
