Search/look for the San Antonio Garden Railroad Society or SAGRS, thats the closest group to Austin I can think of, I'm pretty sure they'll have some members up your way.
Have fun with your trains
have you tried in the for beginners section under find a club? I see theres one there in san antanio

When I read about the evils of drinking I quit reading.
Dear folks,
I have loved trains and model trains since I was a fairly young child. My dad bought me a Lionel steam locomotive set when I was five years old. I just discovered your train newsletter a few minutes ago.
My question is this. I live in the Highland Lakes area of Texas NW of Austin, Texas. Are there any model railroader clubs around my area? Are there any garden railroaders out there? I would be happy to get to meet any other toy and full-size railroad fans. Are there any Texas model railroad clubs? I just looked through all the general posts. I looked at Wichita and found out to my dismay it was in Kansas, not Wichita Falls, Texas.
I suppose I should tell what happened when I saw my new railroad train, set up to go around our nine foot tall Christmas tree. As the train came near me with its whistle blowing, a gift I had not requested and had no desire for whatsoever, I screamed bloody murder and ran and hid behind my mother's skirts. Every time the train came near me, I screamed and ran to hide behind the furniture. I think I hid from the train for three or four days before I figured out it was not going to jump the tracks and get me. I think my dad mostly got the big train for himself. I may have only been four years old. I was pretty little. However, I got over it and became as fond of playing with the train as my dad was and finally we had two locomotives and a pretty extensive set-up. It may be better not to get loud, noisy model train sets for toddlers.
