Clubs

Back in the early to mid 1980s I was an avid N-scale model railroader. That is until 1987 when I demolished my last incomplete layout to make way for remodelling my home. But while I did have a some track and the beginnings of a yard, I never got anywhere with what I was trying to do. I don't remember all of the details of that track plan but it was located in a 10 foot x 13 foot room and it was shapped like an E. I still have part of the benchwork but it's covered by all sorts of junk stored there in the wake of our last remodel in 2004.

     I am new to N scale trains and I am looking for an N Scale club Near Port Townsend, Washington. If anyone knows of one, please let me know. I also am a HO scaler modeler, but due to space concerns I had to switch scales. Thank you and have a great time in this wonderful hobby!

The North American Rail Alliance was originally founded by Robin Mathysen and me, Jonathan Edwards, to connect his freelanced Canadian railroad with my freelanced US railroad. This was so much fun we decided to invite others to join us.
