I BELONGED TO CLUB FOR A SHORT TIME, BUT GOT TIRED OF THE LITTLE CRY BABIES TAKING THEIR THINGS AND GOING HOME IF ANY ONE MADE A STATEMENT OR HAD A DIFFERENT IDEA FROM THEIRS.

I've recently (three months ago) started a small railroad club within my church (on a 4x8 in ho). "The Alpha and Omega Railroad Ministry"

I don't think we really get into the politics and power struggles yet (and hopefully never) as it's goals are more simple, to be a outreach ministry that involve the members (once a month in work) and is run after church and during events (for vistors to enjoy) Trains are like magnets drawing folks to them, and the little flyers as handouts have some scripture that takes thinking about trains to thoughts about God.

Maybe becasue it's new we really aren't focused primarily on super concerns over periods, rivit counting, and such.... and hopefully super offical rules and officers and such can be avoided over just getting a group together to build and enjoy the trains. It's been a wonderful success so far, in that the seed money has been almost matched by church folk in donations, as well as material donations too.

I know personally it's been some work, but a whole lot of fun too.

IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IDEAS OR THOUGHTS IN COUPLING TRAINS WITH GOD PLEASE E-MAIL ME:

Maybe we can get a world wide group of Christians together in developing better materials. I can also send you a link to our webpage, it's a pretty small set up so far... mostly just some track on a table with ceramic houses, but in time it should have a mountian and some water and such.

If anyone ever gets to Weirs Beach N.H. in the U.S.A. look for the Weirs United Methodist Church, and come visit on a Sunday... We'll give you a go as a guest conductor.

No. Mostly because I like to freelance and most of the clubs around here are pretty crazy when it comes to realism. What ever happened to fun? Anyway, I haven't given up all hope. Maybe I'll start my own club of freelanceers who just want to have fun.

No. Nothing really nearby. I would rather spend the 2 hour rt drive time working on my own layout. I may reconsider when I have more free time.

I belong to 2 clubs, the local one is Port Townsend Southern and has a fixed HO layout and a modular N layout. The second one is 40 miles away The North Olympic Peninsula RR in Sequim, WA is modular HO, for which I have a switching set of 4 modules giving up to 20 feet, and a 4 ft. duckunder bridge that can be used anywhere on the setup. The modules are pretty individual with no common theme except the standard spec's. I am currently looking for a Free-mo group in the Puget Sound area because I like the idea of large turnouts and track radii with easements and a free flowing concept that is united but flexible. johncolley tholcapn Port Townsend, WA
