Schedule for Winter through Fall 2023 and beyond.
Various organizations, like NTRAK, the NMRA, Speedwitchmedia, and others, continue to run "virtual" events – conventions, clinics, etc. Some are videos you can find elsewhere, some are live, some are weak and some are quite good.
NTrak Zoom meetings - monthly, second Saturday, 4:00 pm EST
These usually run for an hour with 3-4 segments that range from so-so to good. You must be an NTrak member to get the link, but the recorded videos are posted on YouTube a month later.
