Looking for a Central Florida Model Railroad Club - Model Railroader Magazine
Hi my name is Matt. I was looking for a Model RR Club in the Central Florida area (the Orlando/Kissimmee/Lakeland area). I have looked on the internet (including the list on this site) and sent inquiring email to some but with no response. The frustrating thing about looking for these on the internet is that a lot of the links are outdated from 2001 and the sites don't work or their is no linked site at all.
Anyone from Florida have an updated list? A little background on myself and my skill level (or lack thereof)
I am relocating my family (myself, my wife and nearly 2 year old daughter) to Davenport Florida from the suburbs of Detroit Michigan in the next month. I tinkered with a layout briefly about a year ago but set it aside when I began planning the move. I was also a little discouraged because while I LOVE TRAINS and I am utterly fascinated by model trains, I have no knowledge of the electricity know how to property wire my layout. I also don't have the craftsmen skills to build the great platforms for the layouts I see at shows and in magazines. With no one to really work with me or show a beginner the right way to do things, I sort of set it aside. Now that I am starting new in the sunshine state, I'd like to meet up with some like mind people and get some much needed skills!
Thanks!
