Greetings Railroaders, especially in the Lafayette, Louisiana area. My name is Neal Melancon, and I live in Lafayette. My goal is to start up a railroad club for both HO and G Scale or Garden Railroad. I am reaching out to other railroad buffs here in the Lafayette area.
There are NO clubs in the area. The closest is in Baton Rouge, LA. which is about 100 miles from Lafayette. I understand there is a club in Lake Charles. But we need one in Lafayette.
If you feel you want to dialog on the subject feel free to contact me either by E-Mail----nealmelancon@att.net or by phone—337-988-6746.
Happy Railroading[8D]

Hi Neal,
Lake Charles has a club also. It is a little closer. They model in HO mainly and are building a large layout in the children’s museam. They meet on Tuesday’s and Saturdays. If you want a contact person let me know.
Thanks for the invite. But I would like to stay closer to home. I just spent two years as the President of Southwest Daylily Club in Lake Charles. Know several people there.
Please send me the information on you’als club.
Thanks again.
Neal
Mijiman, are there any hobby shops in located in Lake Charles?
Only hobby shops I know about in Lake Charles are Walthers catalog and the internet. I think Hobby Lobby has some Woodland Scenics stuff but I haven’t gone in to look.
Neal I’ll email you later today with the info. I understand about staying close to home. I am 30 minutes from Lake Charles and it is too much to go. I wish I lived in a town with a club so I could learn.
Mijiman,
Didn’t get that info.
Where are you located?
