Looking to Join Club (South Jersey Area)

Apr 03, 2005 13 Replies

I'm interested in locating a club in the SJ area where I can contribute and learn from such a group. My goal is to spend time with people having similar interests while learning skills to bring home to my own layout.



Any suggestions on clubs that are looking for members is appreciated.


In Carlstadt there is the New York Society of Model Engineers. This is a multi gauge club. They have been around for a long time.

In Union, there is "The Model Railroad Club". They too have been around. The author Paul Mallory was a member.

If I lived near either of them, I would join.

There might be others, but these two are the > I'm interested in locating a club in the SJ area where I can

Thanks, but there a bit of a hike. I'm closer to the Philadelphia area.

Welllll..... South Jersey is a big place. I haven't been to either club in many years and don't really "know" where they are.

Check with Carstens publicati> Thanks, but there a bit of a hike. I'm closer to the Philadelphia > area.

Hi.

Check the NMRA New Jersey Division site:

The Gateway club in Brooklawn (near Glouster) should be close and their site is listed under layouts.

Hope this helps.

Thank you,

With Jersey measuring all of ten miles from north to south do you

*really* care that it's in the southern or northern half?

Uhhh . . . Dave, you had better check the scale on your map. (G) I have traveled New Jersey from the top at Rockland County, NY to the Delaware Water Gap at the south end. That is considerably more than ten miles. You might mean east to west, but that too is more than 10 miles.

OH, wait, there is a Jersey in Great Britton also, isn't there? I think that David meant the South Jersey in the United States.

Truly we are separated by a common language.

Thanks Paul. I have to look up your local, probably about 30-40 minutes from my home. I'll check out your web info next. Thanks for the information, I appreciate it.

Thanks Bill. I will be researching the info available in the links provided.
