Wanting to Join a Club..

I forgot to mention, how about the North East Maryland Area?

Sent you an invite to our next MDOG meet.

Hey Mark,

 

When you say your looking to join a club, are you referring to a TCA or LCCA type of organization, or are you referring to a local O gauge club that either has a layout or perhaps has regular gatherings at members houses to run trains?

 

I'd accept GEF's offer and go check it out.

We would be glad to have you. We are a modular club that sets up a layout for train shows and community events. We are based in Lancaster, PA. Any questions, e-mail me with your phone number and I will give you a buzz. We have a website, but it is outdated and one of our members is working on it.

 

We will be a the York PA Greenberg show this weekend.

You are lucky, there are virtually NONE where I live. I miss the camaraderie.

I belong to the LCCA. I should join the TCA since I have been collecting my whole life. I am looking to join an O gauge club with a layout or modular or just getting together and going to someones house to run trains.

 

Thanks for the invites!

 

If you have a local hobby shop, they would probably have some information for you concerning model railroad clubs close to you..

Mark,

 

If you like operating trains, Don't rule out joining the NMRA. 

 

 After attending a large local train show, which is sponsored/run by the local division of the NMRA, I began asking questions about what exactly an operating session is.  Because I kept asking questions, I was fortunate enough to have been invited to an operating session. Although it was in HO scale, the guys all share a love of trains in all scales. I continue to operate with them and is my greatest source for layout design, prototypical modeling, realistic operations, impressive scenery, trackwork , benchwork and more.

So, if you like operating trains, don't rule out joining the NMRA and spread the word that your interested in operating. I think you'll like what you find.

Good luck!

I belong to the North Penn O-gaugers, we're in SE-PA.
