I have been a member of a local modular railroad club for the past 3 years and am current vp. The club has been around for over 10 years and the membership averages around 15. We set up and do 2 public shows a year. There a very few complete modules. Many are the wood and foam hills that they were at the first public showing in 1995. We have held work sessions with few participating. All the members seemed to talk about was "if we only had a building to set up in". The club just purchased a DCC system and a member located a building to temporarily set up in and prepare for our next show this fall. Only 4-5 members consistently showed up and worked hard only to run out of time and not get everything accomplished that had to be done. The ones that did not show up are the ones that NEEDED to show up the worst. <br /> One would think that almost all the members would show and be excited to see the DCC that everyone wanted so bad. This lack of dedication by many of the members has really hurt the club over the years. People join all gung-ho and end up dissapointed for the lack of progress of the club. Good dedicated members then drop out because the club is going nowhere. Just hard to believe........
