I live outside of Fresno, where I can find no AFOLs.  I would like to start a
train club and was wondering if anyone else in CA would like to discuss the
idea.

As I am near Fresno, I am equidistant from LA and SF.

  Well, I know there are a few folks in the San Diego area, and a few in
the SF Bay Area (maybe more than a few, but I haven't found 'em yet), and
you and Carrie in the outer-reaches.

  I'm a big proponent of getting a train group going. To that end, I'd
like to suggest that anyone interested in a wide-area train group should
consider building up a modular table or two, so that we can try to build
parts of a greater whole seperately, and then we can try to have an
occassional get-together where we bring the modules together to be bolted
into a bigger layout over a weekend, for fun and video/photo opportunities!

  Consider my Round House project (http://baylug.org/zonker/RondDom.html)
as a start, and look for the building plans for the PNLTC-designed tables
on http://baylug.org/zonker/tables/building.html.

  Building the tables is not for the beginner, or the faint-of-heart. But,
maybe we could work on a project day where a few folks with woodworking
tools build a bunch of tables, and sell them for (close to) cost to the
budding Calif. LTC members who don't want to get splinters in their hands?

Dave, I have the set of plans Ben Fleskes made up and although I hade a similar table made, I was going to make more and decided to change to Ben's design, as mine was probably overkill. (My wife has trouble lifting her half of it.) As far as making (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sd, lugnet.loc.us.ca.la, lugnet.loc.us.ca.fno)
