Good luck to all you guys looking for other railroaders nearby. In the past, I, too, felt alone in this crazy hobby of ours.
I estimate that, wherever you are in the country, if you have half a dozen G scalers within an hour’s drive you are doing far better than average. The population of U.S. G scalers seems to be densest in New England.
It is worth joining a club if you can, even if you can only get to meetings very occasionally, also joining an association and going to shows. Your best bet is to be an active participating member. Each person you meet may readily introduce you to another!
I know a couple of large scalers who actually associate with nearby small-scale modelers, believe it or not.
It’s good to have anybody you can talk trains with! I can’t help but think that once the small-scale guys see our magnificent big trains, they’ll wish they were in large scale, and, who knows, some may actually join in our fun!
Once again, I wish the best of luck to you all!
