And now a bit of a shameless plug:
By the way, our group is largely made up of NMRA members , the NMRA British Region, one of the oldest regions outside the US.
We're currently experiencing an increased interest in modular railroading in the UK, and within the NMRA-BR, and a growing interest in operations. The local group that I visit is one of the more active in this area.
I have my own modules under construction, which will eventually be part of these set ups in the future. (see the thread called: A Challenge, designing a modular layout section, here: <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=5811">viewtopic.php?f=46&t=5811</a><!-- l -->).
The NMRA-BR has sometimes been acused to be a lot about politics, and less about modeling.
Hopefully this footage will show that modeling and having FUN with trains is our primary goal, and spend most of our time doing.
The politics that are needed to run a large organisation are largely conducted in the background, and you don't have to participate and can ignore it all together.
If you are interested in wanting to know more, or even better join us (as in the NMRA-BR and perhaps if you live in the south west of the UK, our group), why not visit our website at: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.nmrabr.org.uk">http://www.nmrabr.org.uk</a><!-- m --> . We also have a brand new online forum, that goes a long way improving the communication of it's members, and membership starts pretty cheap too.
End of plug :-)
