One thing to remember too is how long groups have been around for. A group just starting up will take a few years to gain support, members, etc. The WW&F has been 28 years in the making so far to gain as many supportive members and volunteers as we have.
A friend of mine is spear heading a huge restoration effort to save a standard gauge engine and made the comment to me "well I wish we had your support, membership, and donations." To which I replied "you guys will get there in time. Every group has its initial getting off the ground stage."
There are lots of groups I want to see or help out, and someday I hope to do just that.
What has been done in Como so far is absolutely incredible. Give it some time and you guys will have higher attendance work days. In just a short time you guys have accomplishef alot of great things, with many more to come from my understanding. Dreams and goals are what draws the people to help build, and as word spreads, attendance grows.
