Model Train Club News

May 8, 2006

Model train clubs are a great source of model railroading news, information and ideas sharing.

Staff at your model railroad hobby store probably have contacts at the local model train club and may be able to put you in touch with the model train club members. Most model railroading enthusiasts are more than helpful and gladly give you the benefit of their experience and introduce you to others with a similar interest in the model railroading hobby. This way, you can learn insider secrets and model railroading tips and tricks.

Don’t think that everyone in a model train club is experienced. Most model train clubs enjoy a mix of long-time experienced railroaders and new model railroad club members. It is a good place to learn, because most model train clubs encourage the exchange of ideas between club members. They swap train photos, show train films, discuss model train techniques, network with other model train clubs and even have guest speakers from time to time. Joining a model railroad club can be truly rewarding experience in terms of what you can learn, the people you meet and the fun you have.
