Check back here regularly for updates for the monthly Zoom Sessions for members. Malcolm Back and William Waithe have put together a number of guests to present on various topics. These sessions will take place on the 3rd Monday of each month at 7:30pm eastern. Invitations for these sessions will be sent out to all current members by email approximately one week prior to the session, so make sure your membership is current. If you would like to make a presentation yourself, or if you have suggestions for future topics, please contact Malcolm or William.

A career railroader and long time modeler Michael will be sharing with you his fictional railway the Cariboo Chilcotin Railway (CCR). Michael will be talking about the real geography, history and politics that influenced the design of the CCR. He will talk about his quest to hit a level of realism in operation where one might think that the CCR once thundered through the coastal mountain range for real.
