been a member of one club for about 5 years and then joined three others to be active in more scales . One club, the Baltimore Area American Flyer club, is the most fun. We have no elected officers. One dedicated charter member handles all the club activity arrangements and sends out a monthly news letter. We have a traveling modular layout which takes two hours to set up, no matter how large, and about a half an hour to tear down so the work level is not excessive. Have 20 plus active members who are at most meets and meetings and probably another 30 who come now and again as time alows. We just like being together and running trains for the public whether at a train show or nursing home or childrens hospital or wherever. Club has no dues if you don't count the self addressed stamped envelopes you provide tor the news letter mailing. S guage is great. Also I run large scale trains at the Sykesville and Patapsco RR INC. G guage is becoming my favorite as my eyes get older. That layout is set up in an old signal tower in the town of Sykesville MD and run the first sunday of every month and open to the public from 1 to 4 in the afternoon. Stop by if you want to find out what being a club member is all about. We run all scales but Z so far. What you will need is a tolerant significant other like I have to be truely involved with running trains regularly, but you can always set your own level of involvement and still enjoy belonging. Great bunch of people with one purpose. Just to enjoy model trains and being able to show off for the public every time you run them.
