Neuse River Valley is on the Move
The Neuse River Valley Model Railroad Club has been in its present location for many years and has benefited greatly from having some permanent layouts, a large library and meeting space. Our landlord has been most gracious and generous in his rent and allowing us to use other spaces in his building for special events. But all good things must end.
For several years, we have been on a month to month lease and have been aware that someone might come along and want the entire building for their sole use. In the last few months, there have been several prospective leasees and buyers looking at this property and the prospect of our lease termination has been imminent.
In light of the above and because our facilities are on the upper floor, resulting in many of our elderly and handicapped members being unable to fully enjoy our facilities, the Board of Governors have undertaken a search for a new home for our club with a goal of moving by the end of the year.
Should we not be able to secure a new location by such time, we will place many of the components of our club in storage and continue the search. The paper and video libraries will continue to be available to the membership but on a less accessible basis.
The layouts will be disassembled in sections and converted to modular use to insure that we can gather and continue to run trains. Members of the club with home layouts will be asked to invite small groups from the club to their homes to enjoy the additional opportunities to run trains and share friendship.
A space will be secured for us to continue to meet monthly to share fellowship and have programs and keep updated on progress of the new home search.
Some members will be asked to help upgrade modules for operation and standardization of wiring, etc. We will seek out facilities which will allow us to come in for a weekend or longer, to set up the modules and have operating time.
We have learned a great deal from our operations at 5905 Triangle Drive and we believe that this move will provide us an excellent opportunity to improve every aspect of our club.
We are not folding. We are not going away. We are getting better. We will continue to do our annual show at the fairgrounds in November. By the way, this year will be our largest show yet. If anything, we expect that this will increase participation.
As always, we want to have fun running trains and enjoy the fellowship of those who share our interest. Your continued support and participation will be greatly rewarded. Stay connected and on track.
