To answer my own question -

“Does anyone know a list or site listing other clubs or organizations with 1 inch, 7.25 inch and 7.5 inch ride on sites?”

Found this answer this morning, seems pretty up to date

I’ve got a 7.5" track about 3/4 of a mile from our house in Port Orchard, Wa.

Thanks Rick.

Ric,

Are you aware of the magazine “Live Steam and Outdoor Railroading” ? http://livesteam.net/

My local hobby shop in MD carries it, and I often buy one to read. Fascinating stuff about the larger scales.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for mentioning that. I have had a free subscription and it was really over my head as far as the machinist side of it. I’ll give it another try.
