Yeah, a small train club out here does sound like a lot of fun, but
that critical mass problem is a tough one to get past, way out
here in the woods of Southern N.E. I suspect it would take some
sort of spectacular event to coax 10 potential members out of the
woodwork. I envision something like a once in a lifetime chance to
shop at the internal company discount store, followed by a trip to
the trolley museum for building inspiration just might do it, but I
don't think the trolley museum is even open until spring. Maybe you
could check out one of the NELUG shows in the meantime to keep the
inspiration going.
