January 17, 2026–The Aldey & Stillate
Presented by Paul Dishman
Paul Dishman’s HO layout, the Aldey and Stillate, is based on the very short line railroad that runs between Pratt Falls, Utah and Hope Springs, Idaho. Besides providing scenic excursions between the two towns, it also services local businesses such as the M.T. Box Co., Tillwee Meats, and Oaks on Yew Lumber. Dishman will provide an insight into the questionable history of the railroad as well as a visual tour of the layout. The presentation will utilize Artificial Intelligence as that is the only kind the presenter has.

As your new Division Clinic Coordinator, I have a set of large shoes to fill and with your help it will happen gracefully. One of my goals is to have a fluid list of topics to choose from or you may choose your own topic. Giving a clinic is not only fun, it is also a great learning opportunity and a way to serve the modeling community. You may also gain points for the AP program in Author or Volunteer. One doesn’t need to be an expert on the topic, but knowledgeable enough from having done the skill while learning it. Now you have the opportunity to pass that knowledge along to others. By helping others you may continue your journey. Call or text to get on the schedule.
Thanks and happy modeling!
