Welcome to the Daylight Division!
We are one of five divisions in the Pacific Coast Region of NMRA, with Coast, Redwood Empire, Sierra and Hawaiian Divisions being the other four.
The PCR Daylight Division serves NMRA members residing in the California counties of Merced, Mariposa, Madera, Fresno, Tulare, Kings, Kern, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara.
Division meets are held quarterly in February, May, August, and November, rotating to different locations throughout the Division to give everyone an opportunity to attend meetings nearby and share the long-distance drives. Carpooling is encouraged! The Daylight Division is a BIG division.

CALLING ALL N SCALERS IN BAKERSFIELD, KERN AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES
The local model railroad club in Bakersfield, the Golden Empire Historical & Modeling Society, N Scale Division, is currently looking for any N scalers in Kern County who would like to join in on constructing an 18' x 80' N scale club layout, loosely based on the Bakersfield to Mojave line. We have been working on this layout since around 1996, but the more modelers, the merrier! If you have any questions, please contact Doug Wagner at (661) 589-0391 or via email at carldw@aol.com. Visit our website at www.GEHAMS.net. Thank you!
THE DAYLIGHT OBSERVATION NEWSLETTER NOW ONLINE ONLY!
The Daylight Observation is now only available online at the Daylight Division website, www.pcrnmra.org/daylight/newsletters.html. Printed issues will no longer be mailed.
Members will be notified via e-mail that the new issue is available for downloading/viewing from the Daylight website. Send an e-mail to the Editor to be notified via e-mail.
Postcards with a link to the new issue and the next meet date will be mailed to members that do not have an e-mail address on file with the Editor. Save your Division some time and money by sending your e-mail address to the Editor.
CONTRIBUTING TO THE DAYLIGHT OBSERVATION
We want contributions to the newsletter from and for the benefit of our members. Many members cannot make it to our quarterly meets and would like to know more about our comings and goings. You can get AP points for the Model Railroad Author certificate by getting items published in division and regional publications. (See the NMRA website for more information or contact the Daylight AP Chairman, Dave Grenier at grenida@pacbell.net.)
We're also looking for photographs of your layouts with captions or short stories about each. What do you say people? How about some publicity for your layouts that you work so long and hard on?
