KANSAS CITY 3-RAILERS OGR Forum - Buy-Sell-Trade Event planned?

I live nearly 200 miles from KC but would be interested in interacting with a KC group as I am in the area often.  Does anyone in KC help set up O Gauge displays at Union Station?

Very interested , i am out of shawnee ks

There is a large TCA group in KC that is very social.  You might tie up with them.  Also, the Mid America 3 Railers out of Springfield are a very wide ranging group.

I live 9 hours away, but periodically go to Kansas City to, in part, soak up a little bit of former Santa Fe atmosphere. and might be able to schedule a trip to coincide.  Add me to the list, but I can't do it monthly.

 

There is usually a Santa Fe Historical and Modeling Society mini-meet in November, and I try to attend.

Mike...I will extend my invitation once again, just contact me through my profile e-mail.

 

Alan

Please add me as a person that is very interested in your group. Although I live in Springfield, I would like to keep up with the group. Ever so often the wife and I go to KC, so we would be interested in a Saturday morning meeting if we are in town.

 

If any of you are in the Springfield, MO area, please contact us and we would love to show you some layouts here in town.

Alan,

Just sent you an e-mail, very interested in learning more about Midwest 3 railers

I have a prior commmitment on the 7th. Please keep me in the loop on what comes of the meeting.

Thanks

Mike

I live up just north of Kansas City, would have some interest in participating. 

I'm in the area and interested, but won't be able to do anything until approx. first of next year.  Lots on the plate right now!  Will try to keep monitoring this thread for updates.

Pro hobby,

I am always interested in learning new approaches to this hobby that I can implement myself on my own layout.

Do you have a layout up and running?

Hump Yard Mike:

 

I am setting up a small layout in 1/2 of a 2 car garage. At present I am building all the control components before I begin construction on a specially designed "modular" layout. The modules will be "plug and play" which means that all wiring between the modules will use special connectors to allow setup and tear down or modifications very quickly.

 

My controls system is composed of MTH DCS components.  I run conventional engines as well as PS-2 and PS-3 equipment.

 

Attached are photos of some of my completed control components.

 

 

Hump Yard Mike:

 

I have 2 MTH TIUs in my control system.

 

One of the TIUs has been mounted to a board with a MTH AIU.

 

I use this board to test and trouble shoot engines and accessories. 

 

My other MTH TIU is also mounted on a board that has an MTH "Brick" which supplies power to the TIU by connecting to the "AUX POWER" input.

 

 

MY TIU test board is shown in the photo. All the components are securely mounted with screws.

 

 

 

 

I am interested, please keep posted,

 

Jim Glenn

Please add me to the list of interested 3 railers (South KCMO).

Gregg....I contacted both Mike and "Prohobby" about our group.  I indicated that we have a few members of our group already in their area and since ours is already established and also does not have dues, etc.....perhaps you can get with them and see if they would like to be members of our MA3R group?  Both Mike and Prohobby responded to me.  I encouraged both to look at our website and see that we are made up of similar folks that are trying to get together every so often. 

 

Thanks,

Alan

Alan, am planning to attend and have it on my calendar.  Take care...gregg

 

Interested thanks

pro hobby,

 

I like the informal "once a month" meeting idea. Count me in.

 

Dennis

A couple of us from mid-Missouri would have come over but you managed to schedule the same day as the Boeing RR Club meet in St. Louis.  It's a biggie and we are signed up for tables.

I'll be there.

 

 

Couldn't make it this time. Keep me on the list. I have downloaded a copy of the pdf document.
Thanks,
CH

Unfortunately, I ran out of gas on 435--I knew I needed gas but I was running late and I thought that I could make it. Anyway by the time I got there at about 9:35, I guess everyone had left. 

How did the meeting go this morning?  Any pictures?  Who attended?

 

Thanks,

Alan

Wanted to be at the first get together but had prior commitments this weekend.  Who made it and how did it go? 

 

Mike

Would love to attend, live on the south side in Missouri.  Missed the last one (out of town), gonna miss this one, NASCAR weekend.

 

Hopefully November will work, would love to meet fellow forum members and hobbyists.  

Alan (Pro-Hobby) and Chris,

 

Nice meeting you and Chris Saturday morning.  You both seem to down to earth and really enjoying the many aspects of the hobby. 

 

Alan,

 

Thanks for working towards setting up a local group here in KC.  It would be really cool to see this develop into a nice group of guys (and gals) that can mentor each other on various aspects of the hobby.  I will get back to you and Chris tomorrow on a date for the two of you to see my set up.

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

It was great to meet everyone on Saturday. I enjoyed the time to network and swap stories. Mike summed up my like-kind thoughts about desire and direction going forward.
Mike, look forward to seeing your layout and to share ideas to address the items you brought to the table.
Alan, thank you again for putting the (ongoing) effort forward to bring us together offline!
Best,
Chris

Chris.

 

I sent you an e-mail, not sure if it might have been junked.

 

Mike

Mike,

Found your email. I replied. Thanks...been off the grid a couple days. (rare)

Thanks,

Chris (CH)

I'm unable to attend this weekend everyone. Look forward to a summary of your conversations! Look forward to the next opportunity.

Thanks,

CH

I will not be able to make it, please post any discussions that come up.
