Masterpiece of model railway building yields to CN

[Sumpter250]

I have seen many clubs go through moves to different places. I have seen many clubs disband, after tearing down their layout. There is only one way a club can be sure of longevity, and that is to, as a group, own the building their layout resides in. That, can get extremely complex as founding members die, or move away, unless there are specific guidelines for the transfer of ownership. Lake County Model Railroad Club, survived an " almost loss of their rental space", because a new landlord had "other plans" for the property, and the possibility of that loss, never goes away.
There is only one permanent thing --- "change". It is always and ever the heart of "The Plan-of-the-day".
I suppose, though, that there may be something to be said about the Quixotic practice of "tilting Windmills".
