Call out for Lafayette, Indiana

SluggerOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

This is just a general call out. Is anyone on here, or is there any O gauge group, located around Lafayette, Indiana? It seems that after Hawkin’s Rail closed up shop there’s not much here in the way of model railroading locally. I’m aware that there’s an O scale group and an O gauge group down around Indianapolis, but that is a bit out of the way.

If there’s enough interest, perhaps those of us around Lafayette could see about forming something? Perhaps something casual, once life returns back to normal?

None that I am aware of and I’ve lived in W Laf for 15 plus years. Don’t know what happened to all the stuff from his shop either. Last time I stopped in and bought some paint he was in a wheelchair and barely able to get around at all. I have a buddy that also works at CAT with me that has a bit of a small collection but he lives in Chalmers-tuckey-ville just North of Brookston.

There is a fairly active group from NMRA Central Indiana Division in Lafayette. Mostly HO, but they are scale guys. I've driven there for one of their meetings / layout tours - seem like a friendly bunch.

And Indianapolis is only an hour away.
