Hm. A better question might be "WHERE ARE the fan clubs for the other
popular themes of CASTLE, PIRATE, and SPACE?" There are at least twelve
organized LEGO train clubs in the US, plus clubs in the rest of the
world as well. Each club holds regular, highly public shows each year,
and directly inspires interest in the LEGO Trains line.

I see plenty of clubs: WAMALUG, NELUG, MICHLUG, etc.  These cater to all Lego
fans.

...There is no such thing as a National Model Castle Association or National Model
Spaceship Association, with regional shows.  There just is not enough interest
to sustain such things.

But there are plenty of local/regional opportunities.  In MichLUG, we have
done space and castle displays at science fiction conventions and some
members have done a fundraiser for a local church with train, space, and
castle.  It's just a matter of getting in touch with people with like
interests and doing some footwork in finding places to display.

FUT .general--maybe not the best place for this but we need to get this
discussion out of all the theme groups.

As for Train Shows, virtually NONE are comprised of a single Lego Train layout, and organized by said train club. They're invited to model railroading shows, (...)
