BAPM - Bay Area Prototype Modelers

It wouldn't be a BAPM meet without lots of great Espee models on display. And even better this year, Dave Maffei will be on hand to give a clinic on how he expertly weathers his SP locomotives to represent those hard-working cinder blocks the Espee was famous for.

So if you like them dirty, make sure you're on hand to hear Dave's clinic and see examples of his fine work.

See you Saturday!

Anyone who dabbles in Espee passenger train equipment surely knows the name Robert J Zenk. Whether we realize it or not, many of us owe thanks to Bob for the tireless help he gives the model manufacturers - brass and plastic alike - to help them land their SP passenger car (and locomotive!) projects to a high bar of accuracy.

We're fortunate to have Bob on hand at BAPM this year to give a clinic on the development of the SP's legendary 3/4 dome lounge cars, soon to hit the shelves in HO scale form from Rapido Trains Inc. Bob is a master storyteller and will no doubt have loads of information to share on these interesting cars, both in prototype form and - no doubt - the upcoming HO scale model. Come join us later this month to hear for yourselves!
