Model Railroading Clubs - Engineered to Endure
Model railroading is no different in this aspect. With hundred or possibly even thousands of clubs across the world model railroading is far from an obscure or fringe group of hobbyists.
For example, clubs such as the LCCA (the Lionel Collectors Club of America), which was formed in 1970, supplies their members with the means and ways to discuss and share their love of their hobby that might not otherwise happen.
There are many different club types out there too: almost more then there are scales! One link on Railserve.com for instance shows over 150 clubs servicing a variety of modelers across the world " each with a different focus or specialty.
One thing they all have in common however is a love of modeling, and the desire to share and improve the state of the hobby by sharing knowledge and information with their members. If you are serious about modeling then finding a club where you can share your findings and learn about what others have accomplished is not only a good idea, its a necessity.
After all, Rome was not built in a day by just one engineer!
If your interest involves prototyping real-world scenes, or you want to collect obscure equipment from times gone by or you just have a fascination for trains in general, there is a club out there for you.
Take a few minutes and connect with them " youll be glad you did. While theres nothing wrong with being on your own, why not share what you love with others that do?
