Show and Tell
At every Coast Division neet, we have a Show and Tell table, in which you
may bring and display anything of model railroading or railroading
interest. Models, works in progress, interesting photos from a
recent railfanning trip, layout visit, or convention; 'how I did
it' posters, etc. Be creative and we'd love to see you.

Switching Contest
At every Coast Division meet, we set up our Allen Fenton Memorial
Timesaver switching
layout, in which you can compete to see who can complete a switching
puzzle the fastest. You got to try it, it's fun!
The Timesaver :
Is a fun, devilish little switching puzzle originally created by the
late, great
model railroader, John Allen.
John Allen lived in Monterey,
California, and was a long time member of the Coast Division until his
passing in 1973.

Photo Contest
At every Coast
Division meet, we have a Photo Contest. The theme is
published in the previous month's Contest web pages above, and in the Coast Dispatcher.
All photos should be matted (inexpensive, resusable mattes can be had
at most art supply stores) and should be
between 5x7 and 11x14 in size. Hope to see your work there!
