Good point -- I think this is definitely a club for lone wolves. Again, if I had the time and money (say $20 to $80 or more per month) to join a model railway club, I probably would. My way around this is to take part (when I can) with various heritage railways. Their membership fees are usually only $40 to $90 per year, which is much more affordable and you can still participate & enjoy the comradery.
Some times I feel the need to interact with "real" people and not just my cyber friends.
I will admit I do grow tired of clubs at times because it can be a drag and can put a crimp in plans-I hate to miss meetings.
