Ditto! The established train clubs certainly give us something to work
towards. I've enjoyed much of the content on North Georgia's club web page.
I plan on attending the Greenberg train show on February 16th and 17th, so I
can see their layout. Would also like to take a MOC rail racer along as well.

I have one other person I should be able to bring in from Springfield as well.

An email list is an excellent idea.

Yahoo might be useable for this purpose. As Mark had mentioned a "central
point" would be a good start.

Let's get some feedback from those interested, and start laying down the
foundation for a club. Starting from the ground up can seem like an
overwhelming task, but once we lay some of the framework out, it will
eventually be less and less of a burden. The sooner we get started, the better!

(...) And, be sure to post any questions to .trains.org - there will *always* be people happy to help! Great, now I'm thinking of Kansas City BBQ, and it's making me hungry...
