Folks,

Me and my friend Ralph are starting a new train club the Northern Central High Railers. The club is for people with a home layout that live within a one hour drive of Timonium, Md. 21030.

The purpose of the club is to hold monthly meetings at each other’s home layouts. These meeting will be fun casual affairs: running trains, showing off projects, swapping stories, making friends etc. A secondary goal is occasional group visits to local train museums and scenic ralroads.

We are looking for members.

Our first meeting will be at a restaurant in Timonium at 7PM Tuesday July 26th.

If you are interested and want more information contact me at craignor1@sprintpcs.com or call me at 410 908-1776. If I do not answer leave a message and I will get back to you.

Below is a link to our new website:

Walt,

Thanks.

I hope its better than I expected!!!

We have already attracted some members. We could use a few more. So local guys, if your interested give me a shout, we will limit the group to 10, and we are half way there now.

Well darn, and I just moved too. I don’t have a layout anyways, but it would be cool to at least see the club at local museums.

Craig, in your picture website, there is a picture of a MARC F7. Any idea if that is still in use? I just moved to Boonsboro and am no more than a half an hour from the Brunswick CSX / MARC yard. I hope to see it, it is a very nice looking locomotive.

Good luck.

Freak,

Thanks, I took that shot 3 years ago at Marc’s Camden Station.

I hadnt seen it until then, and I havent seen it since. You might try a Google search, or contacting MDOT.

BTT!!!

I wish i could join, but I have no O layout. I have HO though. Maybe I could build one. Is there a reguirement as to how big a persons layout has to be to join the club? If not I could build a nifty 4x8. And is Finksburg too far for the club?

11

Cheese,

We are looking for O gauge layouts, bigger than what you mentioned. Finksburg is close enough.

Ok, Lets see my brother moves at the end of the month leaving a whole room and if i knock a hole in the wall there it might work…I will see what I can do[;)]

Folks,

Last night we had our first get together at my house. It was real fun especially after spending months planning the thing.[:)]

“I love it when a plan comes together”[:)]

We now have nine members,. (four coudnt make it due to Summer vacations, Business trips, and an illness)

The five of us had a blast. We started at 7Pm and ran through Midnight. Two members brought trains to run. We had both of my mainlines going, at one time running four trains at once. [8D]

We had some food and drinks and lots of conversation. We are off to a good start. Future monthly meeting were scheduled and are up on our website.

We are looking for a couple more members. If you live within an hour of Timonium, Md. and have a layout in your home, please look at our website and contact us.

Here is the photo:

Thanks to CTT for hosting this forum,[:)] and helping train guys like us find each other.
