Reply to "Railboys & Other Local Train Clubs"

I've been a lone wolf modeler since I was about 12.  Last year, a couple of fellows in nearby Zelienople, Pennsylvania made a successful venture into starting a model railroad club, the 'Model Train Club of Zelienople'.  Today was teardown after showing the layout 3 days.  The 2nd annual Christmas layout will be moved from the home location in Zelienople to New Castle, Pennsylvania for an event there.  From about 8 folks last year to about 20 this year, the club has set up seasonally inspired layouts 4 times a year, and plans to continue that schedule.  I haven't participated in the last 2 displays, but visited yesterday.  I neglected to take photographs, but will post some once I get them from the Grand Poohbah.  I do have a link to the club Facebook page in my signature line for anyone who has a Facebook account.

They have proven to be a great group of guys and a couple ladies ranging in age from about 12 to about 75.  I have to travel about 45 minutes each way, but most members are a lot closer.  It has been good to share face to face with folks who love our hobby, and not just share online.
