Are there any additional requirements for becoming a permanent member?
YES. First of all you must have an interest and a commitment in the live steam hobby. At LALS a new member is required to serve 24 hours of work at the club facility – a minimum of 4 hours per day – to become acquainted with “just what it takes to run a railroad.” Also, six hours service on trains as a conductor, while hauling the public, is required. To work the trains, a member must be a qualified conductor. These requirements must be accomplished within your first 6 months as a provisional member.
