We Now Have Track School Club Beginnings.

After a short wait I have great news. Over the weekend I received the first donations for our school layout. They are an extremely generous amount of products from Augusta Track creator of a modular track system (website link:  http://www.augustatrack.com/)

Also a special thanks to David Calhoun for sending us some scenery materials which we will be receiving later this week.

Great News Three Donations In One Day!!!!!

I just received an email from a Kato representative and they are able to donate a  HO scale Metra engine. Also a local club has supplies they can donate and also the donations from David Thanks to all of them.

Thanks David Calhoun: We Have Scenery

Two More Donatons

#1. Our first donation is from Timberline Scenery thanks to them for their coming donations 

#2. From a local club they have a large container of supplies for us.

Yaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!

This is great! Glad you are getting supplies, I would start advertising for members now! I think you said somewhere else that you were good with computers, maybe you could digitally design an advertisement that you could print out and tack up around the school. Also, if you gave any artsy friends, maybe you could *comission* them to make some posters! I'd love to help with that if I could, I just don't quite know what you would want on it. If you want be to draw up a poster design, I'd love to! Good luck getting some members, I have faith in you! Well, I mean I really want you to succseed, and I think you will if you got this far!!!!!!!!!

Wheaton Historical Museum Donations

A huge thank you to the model railroad group at the Wheaton Historical donation for their donations. They had a very large layout and therefore had lots of leftover supplies below is a short video of the donations and the layout at the museum itself.

In response to ronheiser

Lots of emails and lots of phone calls. Along with a good intro to each. Also never give up I have been turned down more times than accepted. 

Good work

I wish we had someone in our club as ambitious and determined as you in getting manufacturer donations.

If you haven't tried building supply stores (e.g. Lowe's, home depot) for lumber supplies for the bencwork yet, with your success I think you should.

Question:

I am really thrilled by how successful this is turning out, and I truly hope you are able to get support from people in your school. I was wondering if you would accept a favor, would you want a 'advertisement' for your group, I was drawing and it occurred to me, thought I'd ask, this is sounding very awkward but yeah...    

If you want a advertisement thingy I would love to do one, ...             

Sure that would be cool I

Sure that would be cool I would love to see what you could do.

Thank you!

Thank you! If you have any particular logo/train/background please tell me now, if none I will just go ahead, I think your layout is in a urban/city environment?

Very Nice!

Your club is really taking off! I will be watching this thread.
