Doug-
Great to hear that another 4-H train club is in the works! I apologize for not getting back to this thread earlier as the topic seemed to hit a dead end.
I just got back from the club setting up their annual train meet at the Somerset 4-H Blum Center at Milltown Road in Bridgewater, NJ. The show runs tomorrow and Sunday from 10:00 until 5:00 each day. If you can, come on up on either day to check out what 26 club members can do! Our layout is 32' x 56'- the largest ever for our group!
The 3rd year members have set up a 36" by 84" table with a circle of track and two sidings for the start of a hands-on program. The idea is that the five 3rd year members will show guests how to run the train in conventional mode, and then let then have a crack at the controller. All of the set-up is MTH. I can fill you in later on how it works out this weekend.
I'll be at the meet all day Saturday, but will not be in attendance on Sunday. I can be reached at (973) 255-0012 to talk club organization. The Trainmasters are a modular club that follows the national standard that contains three tracks. If you can't make it up this weekend, give me a shout so that we can talk 4-H and trains!
