The Roundhouse Model Railroad Club in St. James, MN uses it's open house sessions and community events to help recruit new folks into the hobby. It holds two major open house periods each year, one in June in conjunction with the town's community "Railroad Days" festival and the other in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

Any other clubs out doing something similar? The club has recruited several new members in their late teens/early 20s recently. Any ideas about how to pull in high school age folks?

This thread is intended to give and receive help in using XtrackCAD and the Raspberry Pi family of computers. It NOT intended to address either XtrackCAD or Raspberry Pi individually. It is hoped that it will allow the discussion of problems/resolution/tips/etc. to allow the combination of the two to be a happy and productive one.

A friend who knows of my layout building project, and my interest in alternative energy sources, just sent me this link,..

well i bit it.

bought a five unit trailer train well car off flea-bay. knowing missing trucks and assorted parts.

 but did not even think some of the parts are what hook them together, and support them on the trucks.

both end units are ok.(units  A, B), are good to go, just need the detail things.
