Board of Directors 2022

You are here: Home / Organization / Board of Directors 2022

Kendall Rascoe is in his second term as president of the club having spent the previous two years as our vice-president.  Kendall is native to Virginia having been born and raised in Portsmouth.  His boyhood home was just ten minutes walking distance from the Seaboard System and the Norfolk-Portsmouth Belt Line.  He fell in love with trains at a young age and has been a model railroader since the 1980s.  His main railroading interest is with Seaboard Coastline, Seaboard Systems, and CSX railroads.  Kendall is considered a mainstay of the club, having joined in October 2001.  He also assists with electrical across the layout and is the final phase of his Phoebus “rebuild.”   You can reach Kendall at: SBD_SCL@yahoo.com

William “Billy” Grimes is in his first term (as a member of the board) as the club vice-president.  Billy is a long-time member and was the most recent winner of the club’s “Golden Spike” award, for his work in securing a new club car, a fifty-foot coal hopper. Billy models the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad. The Vice-President is one of several club members who actually work on or for a railroad. He is an engineer, serving the U.S. Army’s Transportation Command at Joint Base Langley-Ft. Eustis. You can reach Billy at: william.grimes@yahoo.com

Jim Paddleford is the club treasurer and has held this position since January 2018.  Jim first joined the club in October 2015.  Jim enjoys modeling the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, especially their passenger operations. In addition to being the club’s treasurer, Jim holds the same position with his condo association. You can reach Jim at: jimpaddleford@verizon.net

Roger Bir is the club secretary, having previously served as president and vice-president.  Roger has been a member since November 2007.  His first foray into model railroading was after he retired as an NCAA football and wrestling referee.  Looking for a new hobby, he visited a local train show where he met current president Kendall Rascoe and the late Jim Corbett.  Both were present at the show representing the club and they invited him to stop by and visit.  He attended the next club business meeting and was voted in as a probationary member, earning full status a couple of months later.  An avid Union Pacific fan, he models multiple types of the western railroad to include steam legends the “Challenger” and “Big Boy.”  Roger was awarded the club’s Golden Spike Award in 2016 for his contributions to the club.  Currently, Roger is working on his NMRA “Master Modeler Railroad” rating.  You can reach Roger at:  sorcerer54@cox.net
