Does anyone know of any O gauge railroad clubs in Delaware or surrounding area? Unfortunately I have found there are very few hobby/train stores in DE to purchase or socialize with other collectors/operators. Thanks,
Bruce

I know what you mean. I don't know of any either. I do all my train shopping at Nicholas Smith in Broomall, PA. Not much else left in Delaware except Just Trains. The closest clubs seem at least 2 hours away in each direction. Maybe we need to form one.
Forming a club is a good idea if there is enough interest wouldn't know where to start. I'm in central DE no hobby stores closet is Just Trains and Seaside Hobbies which both a distance away.
If you are willing to drive a ways, the National Capital Trackers are based out of the DC area. One member, a very close friend and one heck of a good guy lives in Philadelphia and travels to shows.
There is a small group called Tri State High Railers that meet once a month at different members houses. Their membership is limited due to available meeting space in members houses. It's hard to get 25 or 30 people in a small basement.
I'm wondering the same thing any clubs in lee MA area!
Sounds great but DC is a little to far to drive. About a 3 hour drive.
There is a active group in Bethany Beach that once had a very nice "S" layout at the York meet years ago. They are into "O" as well. I think their name is "Seaside Railroad Club".
