The River City 3 Railers have been busy since York getting ready for our Summer, Fall & Winter 2014 events.



In early May we met at my home for a regular meeting......with prerequisite time for socailizing.....

We decided to get a new trailer.....Our current 5X& unit still requires us to make 2 trips to every venue. Our new 7X14 trailer will fit everything with room to spare.



Here is Gilly@N&W picking it up near Roanoke VA....he also is attending the 611 send-off....I'm looking forward to his pics.

Like other modular groups, we depend on fund-raising. This year we're raffling off the Lionel Pennsy LionChief set. We're going to include a decorated 4X5.5 trainboard, hoping to increase ticket sales.



We put it together today.

More trailer pictures. We've been scraping and saving for almost 3 years so we could buy it. We've been constantly building and growing and just out grew our old trailer last year. It had gotten to the point that we were making two trips for each setup. Our 5x7 is for sale. If anyone is interested, my email is in my profile.

Groups like this are more about people skills, than trains, IMO.  People skills are as much a part of the hobby, or more, than the nuts and bolts of making things run.  Again that's only my opinion.

Now lets see, how could we maximize the number of modules we can get in this beautiful red box?    Our trip to York in April, saw us pack and un-pack the big burgundy trailer at least two times, before it was all loaded.

Mike, you're so right. The good thing is our club is blessed with 14 of the nicest guys you'd ever hope to meet. We're a small club and that definitely works to our advantage.

The River City 3 Railers met this AM at my house to work on the layout we're going to raffle this Fall/Winter as our Fund Raiser.

 

I had the framework from an old 48X66" layout which works nice with the LionChief starter set layout size of 40X60.

 

We covered it with indoor/outdoor carpet from Home Depot.  We'll add some Pasticville/Marx buildings after York.

TRAILER?... we don't need no stinkin' trailer!

 

Our modular layout fits in the back of my small SUV!

Just kidding, of course!

 

Your new trailer looks great.  Wish we had one, and the truck to tow it, and the place to store it...

 

Best wishes from our club to yours!

Ed, Nice looking layout. We're in the process of building a second smaller modular layout for one day venues too. A 20x30 layout is neat, but there's a lot to be said for an 8x12.

 

Thank you for your kind comments.
