    Hello all,

    Calling all N-scaler's we have a N-scale layout already bult and some scenery already done. We are now faced with use it or lose it. Our membership has grown and some HO-scale members see the area as unused space. Any one with a layout is always looking for more land to expand the layout, our club is no different. We had two members that built the layout then because of family and jobs had to drop out. We have the N-scale right in side the door so on open house days this is the first thing the public see. With out N-scaler's to run trains it doesn't look good with open house and no trains running on a layout. If your are interested in more details you can contact either the club by email nwilmrr@gmail.com or Mr. train also a trainboard member. We are not doing any thing right away just in the talking stage. Look at this way you could join and have a layout already built just for you! How cool is that!

    Man, I hate to see a good opportunity like this to promote n-scale fall by the wayside. My son lives somewhat in the area, and I visit a few times a year but unless I moved up there I'm afraid I wouldn't be much good. Seems like there's lot of n-scalers in that area though so hopefully your message will reach the right folks.

    Maybe I can catch an open house sometime. Do you have a schedule?

    I'd love to help you out. But, being in SE Wisconsin, that at least a couple hours drive. But I do wish you the best of luck.

    I know one of the guys that worked on that layout.
    It's 29x14 double track main. The inner loop and large yard are full dcc and the outer loop is swtchable dc/ dcc capable. Multiple passing sidings and area to devolp industries.
    Much fun
