After looking at WAMALUG's most recent pictures I wondered who owned burp mountain? Does a member own it (no I am not looking for a name) or is it property of WAMALUG. A more general question is how do most groups handle this? I always assumed that there were club dues, clubs would buy stuff, and the structures made from those things are Club property. Anything built by an individual from that individual's collection could be part of a layout, but the item would remain the individual's property. Is that how most clubs do it, or is everything privately owned, and the club acts as a place to find trading partners or people with whom one can split sets (I want these parts. You want those parts. Cool, everyone is happy.) Anyway, I was just curious about the internal workings of the clubs. Thanks, Chris -- PGP public key available upon request.

(...) GMLTC and WAMALUG reps have already described the two main modes, "one person plus", and "pooled with ownership known".

PNLTC has a small $10/year dues. This covers incidentals for shows. We have also purchased some sets and bins for the Kids Area, but most of that comes from the few buck we get paid by the shows. As for mixing track we have used two methods. The (...) (24 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains.org)
