No, was, the club's focus was on shows for the public. I'd like to join one that had operation as the focus.

After a 50 year absence from the hobby, I have finally found a club and am back to my eyeballs. We do not have a permenant address so we only run once a month. We have built many N-Trak modules and do several shows a year. This year , We are presenting our own show for the public. what a challenge. getting everyone in the tight space and satisfying all the vendor requests. In a situatuion where there is not the budget and room for a home layout, clubs allow the average Joe to run his trains and participate at really minimual expense compared to a home layout and the wife.

Since retiring from school teaching, I have picked up my model railroad passion and I love every minute of it. My model railroad competes with my music activities and my part time job with the Anaheim Angels.
The model railroad club has been a great incentive to watch others and the work they do with their trains. When a compliment comes my way about my skills it makes my day.
It would be great to have building owners appreciate more about what a model railroad club can do for a community.

I belonged to two clubs one which was the oldest in the area. And the other a new one, I enjoyed the fellowship and friends. I believe friend ship is based on what each haveing intrests in command, and model railroading is a hobby which takes all hobbys. To do it correctly. Gives a broad base for all of the hobbies their is. I enjoy permemt lay outs, but give credit to those that enjoy module layouts. But with the cost of today for a perment site is prohitive, plus the cost of insurance to high. But to tell the truth I enjoy model railroading, now if I could get the wife to give me the space to build one so I can take my equipment out of boxes and build my own layout. It's a prey answered for those who are retired or handcaped and can't work keeps the mind bussy and our lives loner.

I've been a club member for two years. Until recently, I've been mostly a lone-wolf, armchair modeler. The club layout is HO, but my main interest is N. The main advantage of membership for me is to be able to spend some of my time with other modelers. For now, the bull sessions after the meeting are my favorite time of the evening.

I was for a few years but as a previous poster commented, the politics, egos, and elitism got to be a bit much for me. This is my hobby, that a play at in my spare time. I get enough of the aforementioned during the day at work, i am not particularly interested in it on the evenings and weekends.

I tried a different club for a short while, but never really felt very comfortable there, so i have been going it alone for a few years. Unfortunatly though I have not had a whole lot of time to devote to a layout in my new home since I have been pretty caught up in other hobbies (offroading).

There are no clubs in my aera. The closest one is 45 miles south of me and it is realy a closed round robin. No new blood. :( The hobby shops in town know of people with skill and will lead you in there direction but thats it. There are some old club layouts at one hobby shop that I found but there is a no touch rule and no club, "we did that for years and now were to old to start a new one". I am new to the MR world ( looked on in wounder and watering mouth for years) and not ready to try to start anything just yet. Soon? I hope but not yet. So I have just up and joined this club and to date I have found nothing but realy good people with lots of help to give. Thank you all...

i think clubs serve a purpose, however i do not belong to one. there are several clubs in my area (massachusetts) but i have opted to stick with a small round robin group of several people. we all have a certain amount of experience in different areas of the hobby. this arrangement is fine for all of us for several reasons. we meet oce every week at a differant house to operate that layout. if it is your turn to host a operating session, you supply some basic refresments and direct the operation. we generally meet more often in winter. but if there is a shortage of operators we will help the host do some maintainence on his layout., that way the session is not wasted. this system has worked for us for several years. we occasionally open our layouts to the public via local hobby shop advertiseing. this helps foster the hobby to newcomers by giving them a look at fully funtional layouts. none of us like the structure of club operation nor do we have to deal with commitees that decide what the next project is . we all work on our own layouts individually but if there is a problem on a particular layout we pool our resources to solve the problem
