Pittsburgh Independent Hi Railers

Andy,

   Here is a new 14 year old member and life blood for you guys, time to pass down the O Gauge tradition buddy!

PCRR/Dave

Andy Hummell on the Forum is a member.  They also have a Facebook Page.  I think I would search for Andy if he doesn't find you first.  I know there are many other members but I don't know how frequently they are here.  Andy participates regularly.

I myself would love to join but my work schedule is still so goofy I'd probably miss 95% of the events.  Hopefully someday though.

Hope this works for you, Michael. They are an active group and have a fabulous modular layout.

Michael,

The best way is to come talk to us at one of our setups, like the Greenberg shows in Monroeville, where there will be a majority of members present.  We are not related to the Fort Pitt club other than that we have a common member between the two clubs (Matt).

I will relate your interest in joining at our next meeting.  In the mean time, keep an eye on our Facebook page (link is in my signature) for any setups before the November Greenberg show.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Andy

Thank you, Andy for the info! Can't November come faster? 

Michael,

I'm glad Andy found you so quickly.  I knew he would.  I am glad you are interested.  I have enjoyed their setups for a few years now, and have enjoyed visiting with the members at shows and online.  I'm like Marty E, in that I would like to join too, but living in Butler, know I can't until I retire.  I hope to meet you in November!

ES44AC,

I am not a member nor do I live anywhere nearby, but I would like to wish you luck in getting together with the club and I hope you enjoy it. It is really great to see young people interested in the O gauge hobby and also here on the forum too. Good Luck!

good to see a young'n interested in trains. I'd love to join, but an hour away, and 21 turn hasn't been a good mix for clubs.

Thanks everybody!

Email me and I can tell you more about PIHR.

Michael,

You will find that the Pittsburgh Independent Hi-Railers are a wonderful group of gentlemen. They are very knowledgeable about the hobby and "O" Gauge trains. They are true model train lovers. They are some of the nicest people I got to know through this hobby. They will teach you a lot about trains. You take care and have a great evening.

Glad to see another teen into O-gauge! Im only 2 years older than you, Michael. Good to see you are going into to a club! Ive been searching the forum and around my area

(Youngstown Ohio) but haven't been getting any luck! -David 

I'm somewhat late, but I'm glad I found this thread. I was looking to join that club, too. ES44AC, I am thirteen and I try to attend all local trains shows. I will definitely be going in November.

That's awesome Keith, I hope to meet you soon!

I hope to meet you, too, Michael!

I wish I had known about the last Greenberg show in Monroeville, now I have to wait a couple more months for a show. But, I guess that does save me money.

Michael and Keith,

When you get the chance, email me so I can send you some club information.  My email is in my profile.

Andy
