The North County Model Railroad Society is a not-for-profit public benefit corporation whose objectives are 1) to hold and manage property and funds for charitable purposes, 2) to provide public displays of model railroads in order to present and teach the history and operation of railroads, and 3) to promote and teach railroad safety. Donations are welcomed. For reference the NCMRS tax ID is 33-0478444. NCMRS is located at Oceanside Heritage Park, 220-230 Peyri Drive, Oceanside CA 92058. Our web site is www.ncmrs.org 2 T HE S EMAPHORE From the Interlocking Tower July 2018 s you know from our meetings, we are developing a plan to rebuild the Trains 4 Kids A model railroad. This will be a perfect time to develop new skills and learn more about the world’s greatest hobby – model railroading. During the next several months, there will be opportunities to provide great ideas to make the model railroad more enjoyable for the children. When construction starts, the first step is to develop and build the framework to support the model. The next step will be installation of the roadbed and track. Following track work, there will be the need for electrical work. Based on what I have heard, I am sure there will be moving parts, lighting for buildings, and of course electrical control of the trains. Scenery will be a major portion of the rebuilding process. If you would like to learn new skills or develop current skills, there will be opportunities to take part in the construction of a first class Trains 4 Kids model railroad. I am sure several of you would like to be a part of this endeavor. Another opportunity to participate will be the Fall Swap Meet to be held Saturday, October 13. As you know, each of our Swap Meets has increased our revenue through rolling stock and building sales and our very popular raffles. We have had vendors and guests stay just for the results of the last raffle. Being part of a successful event is personally rewarding and this event helps provide funds for improvement of our model railroad. Over the last couple of months, we have had several new members join the club. As the new members become engaged in club activities, please take the time to introduce yourself and welcome them to our club. I know when you joined the club, active members made you feel “at home” with the club. We would like all our new members to feel welcome. Please do your part to show them around our facility. In September, the National Model Railroad Association is holding the Pacific Southwest Region 2018 Convention in San Diego. As part of the event, NCMRS will be sponsoring an operating session. Based on feedback from recent op sessions, the Switch List method will be used and set up by our members. At this event guests from the NMRA will be operating trains under our guidance. That means they will control the engines, but our members will operate the switches and provide guidance as they travel around the model railroad looking for towns and industries. This is a great opportunity for NCMRS to gain recognition within the model railroad community and the NMRA. Although the year is half over, there is still plenty of opportunity to get involved in NCMRS functions. As more members participate, NCMRS becomes more successful and enjoyable for everyone. Have a great day, Harold 3 T HE S EMAPHORE About Our July Cover Photo ome 45 minutes after leaving the S Oceanside Transit Center, Coaster F40PH-2C locomotive No. 2101 glides through Rose Canyon.

Although familiar with Heritage Village Park, this was the former city managers initial opportunity for a first-hand look at what NCMRS has accomplished since moving to the park. The mayor appeared both surprised and impressed at what he saw and noted that NCMRS was clearly the principal attraction at the park. Following the tour the mayor joined NCMRS members for lunch arranged by Pete Steinmetz. Rich Blankinship, who is a member of the Oceanside City Parks & Recreation Commission, was responsible for arranging the mayor’s visit. Mayor Peter Weiss poses in front of the Helix with Harold Helland and Rich Blankinship. Cy Grimshaw 1931-2018 NCMRS co-founder yrus Samuel Grimshaw passed away in Encinitas on June 1, C 2018. He was 87 years old. Cy was raised in a military family and moved numerous times, but he considered Chicago his hometown. Cy served in the Air Force as both an enlisted man and an officer. He retired as a Lt. Colonel after some 28 years of active service. Following his retirement from the military Cy worked for Northrup Corp. where he was instrumental in developing the B-2 bomber. Cy was a hobbyist for about 30 years. Although he always had an interest in model railroading, his first modeling hobby was building and flying powered model airplanes. He belonged to a local club in the North County. After numerous expensive crashes, his interest moved towards model railroading: not as expensive and with no crashes. Cy was one of the three founding members of NCMRS when the club was launched in San Marcos in 1990. He served as the first president of the fledgling organization. Declining health kept Cy from being active at NCMRS in recent years. Cy is survived by his wife Essy. He will be buried at the Miramar National Cemetery with full military honors in a private ceremony. Reported by Leo Valley. 6 NN C C M M R R S S NNEWSEWS && HHIGHLIGHTSIGHLIGHTS Eileen Turk Retires CMRS hosted a retirement lunch for Eileen Turk on Wednesday June 6. As manager of N the Parks and Recreation Department, Eileen was instrumental in working with the City of Oceanside to secure a home for NCMRS at Heritage Village Park. Throughout the past four and a half years, Eileen has been a staunch supporter of NCMRS and has worked with the City to complete several upgrades for our facility including the expansion of the Trains 4 Kids room.

  • Chapter Three
    CIrhapteronic Golden T Yhreeears - The s at Grand Canyon National Park witnessed a seamless progression of building pro- grams begun in the mid-s.The two decades were linked as well by persistence with earlier efforts to enhance visitors’experiences and protect the landscape through educational programs,bound- ary extensions, and the elimination of private and state inholdings. The continuity seems odd at first glance, as it accompanied the deepest economic depression the nation has yet endured. This cyclical malady of world capitalism might have resulted in reduced federal spending, a return to traditional extraction of resources, or a nonstructural approach to park management. Instead, it triggered federal subsidies in the form of emergency building funds and a ready supply of desperate low-wage laborers.Under Miner Tillotson,one of the better park superintendents by NPS standards,a mature administration took full and efficient advantage of national economic woes to complete structural improvements that,given World War and subsequent financial scrimping, might never have been built. In contrast to the misery of national unemployment,homelessness,dust bowls,and bread lines,financial circumstances com- bined with a visitational respite to produce a few golden years at many of the West’s national parks,including Grand Canyon.
