Good point -- I think this is definitely a club for lone wolves. Again, if I had the time and money (say $20 to $80 or more per month) to join a model railway club, I probably would. My way around this is to take part (when I can) with various heritage railways. Their membership fees are usually only $40 to $90 per year, which is much more affordable and you can still participate & enjoy the comradery.

Poll: For you, is model railroading a solo or social activity? You do not have permission to vote in this poll.
Solo Activity. I enjoy doing most of my modeling by myself. I find it a healthy way to calm my brain and spirit, relax, think, and decompress from everyday stress. Having too many other participants causes me to lose focus and sometimes prevents my full enjoyment of the hobby.	82.50%	33	82.50%
Social Activity. I enjoy modeling with others, inviting others over for operating sessions, and participating in clubs. Without the social contacts, I would have less interest in model railroading.	17.50%	7	17.50%
