Les Breuer will show us how to assemble and detail HO Scale 40' Milwaukee Road Rib Side Car kits. (http://www.ribsidecars.com)

Dennis Meissner, the Archival Processing Manager at the Minnesota Historical Society, will talk about the Northern Pacific and Great Northern collections at the Society. He was very closely involved for a number of years with selecting, organizing, and describing the extensive collections of NP and GN records there.

Jeff Borne will be discussing and showing the history of the United States Steel (USS) owned American Steel & Wire's Duluth Works. This integrated mill was located a mere 70 miles from the world's greatest source of iron ore, the Mesabi Range. Construction started in 1910, the first billet was rolled in 1916 and the plant closed in 1973. Little remains today after the razing of the plant in the late 1980s. - Sorry, cancelled by presenter.
