Question of the day: Are you part of a model train club or group, or are you more of a solo modeler?
Im part of the OMRA in Springfield Missouri.
Ct. Solo
Sort of solo
It looks like a very nice club and modular layout. Thanks for taking us along.
Hello! It’s a great bunch of guys. It’s really cool to see a club located in a more rural area like that. I appreciate you watching! -Mike
This is really inspirational for modelers like me who like to procrastinate! It's really well done, and so is your video. Thanks for sharing this one.🙂
Hello! Yes, procrastination has stolen way too many of my hours as well! Haha. The club did a good job on the layout. Thank you for watching -I’m glad you enjoyed the video! -Mike
Awesome layout
I agree…they’ve done a really good job on it!
Nice Mike , thanks for sharing , cheers ..
Thank you for watching, Sammy! -Mike
Looks like a great club to be a member of…nice & laid back…question answer; solo modeler, no clubs near me
They’re some good guys for sure. I’ve been part of clubs in the past. Currently, I work evenings for my “day” job, and our local club meets in the evenings. But, it’s always fun to visit various clubs when I can .
Great video Mike! Wish I could have been there, but as the running joke with me goes, the real Railroad takes time away from the model railroad, lol! Maybe one day we'll cross paths somewhere! Glad you were able to visit the folks down there, see you for the 2024 edition!
"Wish I could have beer there" -- Freudian slip? :-D
@@beeble2003 I hate it when the stupid autocorrect does that! I missed that one!
Thanks, Randall! I had a lot of fun. The layout looks great. At least while you’re working you’re still getting train time of some sort! Haha. Surely we will cross paths sometime soon!
The club has a very nice layout. Cool that they could put that together. I have been the member of a number of clubs. I am currently a member of the Elkhart Model Railroad Club in Elkhart, Indiana. I am also a member of the NMRA and active in the local division. This has given me the opportunity to meet many other modelers in my area. For most of the first 30 years of my modeling I was what you would call a lone wolf. Did everything by myself. Meeting others as allowed me to operate on some truly awesome layouts.
Hi, John! I agree, the club members did a great job on their layout. It sounds like you’ve got some great organizations that keep you busy. We have great club where I live. But, I work evenings and that makes it hard to be part of. I know many of the members personally, and I keep in touch with them outside of the club setting. -Mike
Where is this club located?
What's the address?
Thanks
Hi! I will see what I can find out. I was wondering if one of our fellow modelers on here might know. I've only met up with the club members during special display events, and haven't had the chance to visit during regular meetings. -Mike
What is the address of this layout?
We currently have 2 main displays each year, one in October at the Heart of the Ozarks Fairgrounds (located just off US Highway 63 on the north end of town a little over a mile south of Junction 14) inside the Harper building just behind the main grandstand. And the 2nd is the Christmas display at the Harlin Museum (located at 405 Worcester Street in West Plains, Missouri). Recently we have set up a smaller display during the Home and Garden Show located at the West Plains Civic Center (located at 110 St. Louis Street in West Plains, Missouri). I don't know personally if that particular display will be back for this year, so you might want to check with the club by using the contact information I listed earlier, hope to see you there!
@@randallellison6421 Thank you for your response, I guess the question should be where is the club location?
Hi! Did you have any luck finding a viewer with the club meeting information? I've only visited during special events and haven't been there for regular meetings. -Mike
Yes I found it
I am now a card carrying member
Thank You Mike
