I’m often available during days as well, so if you have a project you’d like to work on, call me.

I’m interested in playing with static grass, resin casting, ferns, weeds, and marsh grasses. I’ve got plans for a scratch built run down shack, trestles, a turntable, as well as a small pile of basswood chunks to cut lumber from. I’ve been knocking out benchwork and trackbeds for other folks lately, but I feel the urgent need to play with my own trains.

Come out to play.

There are only a few layouts — MADModules On30, N-Trak and the Four County Society of Model Engineers HO layout. And, MADModules is the first layout visitors will see when viewing the layouts.

I didn’t get into the vendor room, except to poke my head in once, but it looked like a fair number of vendors were bustling around in there. I’ll give full reports with pictures tomorrow and Sunday.

It was determined that the MADmodules group be formed; That it shall plan monthly operations in homes and show venues as our primary schedule. Extras and specials may be added when there is more interest (and perhaps more layouts). Like everything else, attendance at meetings is not compulsory.

On30 is our primary scale and gauge, but folks that want to branch out are welcome to try.

Further, members with home layouts used in the round-robin meetings are urged to provide one or more modular connections for visiting modular elements. Modules are suggested as part of each member’s trackage, to allow public display and involvement at shows. No club requirements or group planning is needed for modules, but regular meetings will help to share design intentions, and suggest consistency across modules for optimum operations and display impact. (Certain minimum track standards are outlined in the Mid-Atlantic Standard)

The group will also help get members together to help in building layouts. Gatherings for construction or improvement of private layouts are welcome, but should not preclude meetings for operations.

In the initial phaze of group development, no offices shall be assigned, and no group structure shall be outlined. This arrangement will be maintained until a) things come to blows, or b) there are enough group assets to warrant further organization.

This agreed by the unanimous vote of the remaining active members of the Mid-Atlantic On30 Group.

Berrett Hill Trains is pleased to sign on as a club sponsor.

The November Winter Holiday Show, November 28th and 29th, at Turf Valley will be our first operational meeting. Badges may be had for involved members.

These changes are largely due to the re-organization of the MADModules website and On30 Modules: Mid-Atlantic groups into one: MADModules.com. Over the coming weeks, you’ll see that transformation complete, as we make MADModules.com the internet home for On30 Modular Railroading in the Mid-Atlantic region.
