The popular
‘Works-in-Progress’ program will be featured from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. followed by
a break and a self-guided afternoon tour of five outstanding area

The “WIPS”
Clinics
The ‘WIPS’
format has proved very popular and features multiple, simultaneous, mini-group
clinics in which a clinician can intimately detail their work on a given project
and engage in casual conversation with 6-8 attendees for 20-30 minutes before
the groups rotate to another “WIP”. The GSD is currently evaluating many
potential WIPS including, but not limited to, weathering techniques with
PanPastels, building Fast-Tracks turnouts, unique techniques with Super Trees,
molds and resin castings and railfan photography.
Works-in-Progress.
