Starting an operating club
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, November 10, 2002 6:43 PM
I am looking for some more information on the best way to start a model railroad operating club. Can anybody help me with this topic?

If you like politics,this is the thing for you.However,with mixed personalities things can get heated.Put a post in all the sites to find modelers in your area and see what kind of interest you can generate.Without members there is no club.I`d go that way first.Sometimes you`ll be surprised a model railroader lives right down the street or a stones throw away.I was participating at a site and found two other members close by.We`re now good friends who share the same interest and have a great time going to shows.It`s also nice to have a couple of people to give you a hand when building yours or helping them which will give you some experience before you start your own.Post a question asking if there are any other modelers in your city.Could do it here and any other sites you get into.Hope this helps.

the info you sent helps. I am really just looking other fellow modelers whom I can gather with and maybe create a "club" layout. Thanks again.
