I think that sounds like a great idea! The only club around here is an enourmous G scale, or is it O
, well anyway the layout is AWESOME, but you need to be 18 to join and run trains, so I have two, (closer o one and a half) years to go. They said I would be an exception if they could make one, they just simply cannot.
Gary, sounds like the openhouse was great, even if it was small, but I think smaller would be better, at least for the first one. Wish I could have been down there! I would have had no problem running the trains, well with permission that is:mrgreen:.

It's really good to hear that your open house was a success, Gary, but I told you that it would be. Nice to know that GERN was a hit, too. Looks like there are eight of us so far either modelling GERN or working on it. Maybe your open house will recruit a few more.

Ok everyone else what are your excuses. Ummm no layout as of yet:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:
Gary: how close is Texas to Florida? :mrgreen: I still don't think I can wangle a detour.
I had the GERN cars and factory out at the show on the weekend, also the ad. Didn't get much response; I wonder if they thought I was trying to sell flux. I had one wagon with licorice jelly beans and another with tan ones (not sure which flavour). The one was carrying coal for the factory; the second had haggis "fresh from the mines" for the men's lunch. Somewhere I have some sacks for the flux...
Our club is a visiting homes type. Too many varieties of British modelling to make a club layout. We do have little mini-gatherings every so often, with selected non-members invited, plus our big show every 2 years.

WOW! I'm SO glad it went well!! I was waiting to hear a report, and I agree about the GERN plant, impressive to say the very least!
I wish I could come visit your layout..alas, I'm a bit far away for a daytrip!

Shoot Miles, you aren't that far away. Just hop in your Lear Jet and you'll be there in an hour or so!
Gary - I hop a dive boat out of Freeport 3-4 times a year. I would love to stop by for a couple of hours to run trains with you. :thumb: Rumor has it there may be an exploratory team with me to investigate expanding the Texas Division of Gern Industries up here in North Texas....
