How to plan a Model A Ford club tour - The 10 commandments of Model A club touring!

[@Go4Corvette]

When my kids were little they would have loved the trains. In the 1960s we had a nabor who had a train like these that ran all the way around his house.

Your neighbor sounds cool!

Sorry for the delay in commenting. Ironically, this weekend was our company's trade show. You make a great point - if it is well executed everyone has a fun and relaxing time. But making that happen takes a lot of work. Safe travels to Model A days ~ Chuck

[@AdamDeal-KF0PRI]

the most important tip is to have fun! makes it more enjoyable for everyone! trains are fun!

[@ModelA]

Very true!

[@leahbarnacle6956]

Thanks Paul Very easy 10 point to follow. How about hints for those are following one a of these tours.. 1-have your car ready for a tour. Don’t have this be the first time you drive the for a while, Full tank of gas, check all fluids. Check tires for wear and pressure. 2-Pay attention when leader when he/she is going over tour. 3-look over any hand outs. 4- ask questions. How fast do they plan a going. 5-tell leader if you are having issues with your car before leaving. 6- if you’re able volunteer to be the last car to help those that have problems. 7- try to stay close to the car in front of you. Don’t get too spread out. 8- You are responsible for the car behind you. Make sure they see you make a turn and that they make their turn. That helps so that nobody will get lost. 9-if you are driving modern follow the “A’s” 10 thank the leader for the fun time.

That's a GREAT list!! I have covered how to tour so many times, I wanted to cover the other side for once.

[@Longshadowsmodeltrees]

My love for cars and Model A's is a good thing but Trains are my number one thing to do and that is a great place to see.

[@ModelA]

If you are around the Sacramento area when they are running them, I'll take you over there!

[@ModelARickLasCruces]

There are similar railroad parks in Southern Oregon that our chapter has visited several times. The miniture trains bring out smiles from both young and old.

[@ModelA]

I didn't think it was going to be much fun until we tried it.

[@The33TIGGER33]

Train Mountain Railroad is an Awesome place

[@williamforbes5826]

Thanks for the tips on planning an event like this. I'll be sure to pass these recommendations on to our club. The beauty is that anyone can do this and increase the participation rate as well as enjoyment! Some great venues are not available due to some of the points you brought out. But there are plenty more that fit the bill. Happy model A motoring!! Aoogaa!

[@ModelA]

That is a real consideration. Have fun!

[@paulruocchio5679]

I have an 1/8 scale live steamer in addition to my three A's. They go great together! Have taken the 'Tar Wheel A's' out to our club track several times.

[@ModelA]

I demand to see pictures!!! Hahaaa!! I bet it's really cool.

[@bogiepgr]

Just did something similar - met the Union Pacific 'Big Boy' steam locomotive along its route... made for a nice pic...

Gave some great advice there Paul. Looks like you two had tons of fun. Thanks for sharing, I hope you two have a wonderful weekend, God Bless!

Thanks Dan! God bless

[@patmccarthy5069]

Model A Guy your expanding your resume to include Model A Activity Director. Don’t forget about the food. Model A folks like to eat after a drive!!!

[@ModelA]

The place to eat part of the video is so that we can sit down and enjoy our picnic lunches. If your tour is to a restaurant, then you can skip the picnic part.

[@tomthompson5422]

Great video. Hope to see you at Gilmour. Un-restored 30 Tudor. You are the only person I would trust to drive it.

[@ModelA]

If you see me wandering around, please grab me and show me your car. I would LOVE to see it!!

[@TooManyHobbiesJeremy]

Great to have a list. I found this to be a informative & interesting video. And TRAINS! 😁

[@ModelA]

Right up your alley!

[@JefferyHall-ct2tr]

Hi Paul! Gee, that looks like fun! Hope you will cover your event! Would be cool to watch!

[@ModelA]

You want to see the tour itself too?

[@JefferyHall-ct2tr]

@@ModelA Only if you want to film it. Love seeing Model A's in action!

[@ModelA]

Some of my fellow club members specifically request NOT being filmed, and others simply hate it. So, out of respect, I seldom film club tours.

[@JefferyHall-ct2tr]

@@ModelA That's ok! Don't understand that personally, I would be happy to have a Model A to film!

[@ModelA]

@@JefferyHall-ct2tr Some people prefer to keep their privacy I guess. I have been reprimanded by one club for filming club activities for sharing on KZbin. Yep, reprimanded!

Thanks Edward! God bless

[@michaeledwards8051]

I'm looking, but do you have a video of tips, clues and suggestions for driving on highways? I assume drive toward the right side of the right lane, use a DOT slow-moving vehicle orange & red triangle placard, drive with the lights on... Do you have a "so you're going on a road trip..." Video?

[@ModelA]

I've talked about it in several videos. Look for the one where I talked about what to take on a long trip.

[@matteo-r07]

Great tips, thanks Paul!

[@ModelA]

Any time!

[@ModelAToo]

Hi Paul, great video! Is this a tour that will happen next year? It would be nice to join you and your club sometime. I've been thinking about putting together a tour for our club and this video will help me tons! Thanks buddy! Be safe on your trip this week. Hal

Was planning on first weekend in October. but now that is in question.

[@mandolinman2006]

Eating chicken with trains? Sounds amazing.

[@ModelA]

It was!!

[@The33TIGGER33]

We were going to bring out three Granddaughter's there two weeks ago, But it was going to be to hot. It would be great to be there when there's Models and trains. Is there a date for this outing?

[@ModelA]

The first full weekend of each month. For October, they are doing the Pumpkin Run! Pumpkin patch for kids, etc.

[@williamforbes5826]

Yikes! I prefer the model A folks over the ones that chimed in for the pager info today. Ad hominem attacks for little or nothing. Gee, sorry this stuff hapens Paul. I guess no good deed goes unpunished. Later!

[@ModelA]

Well, now we are reminded why Model A people are special compares to society as a whole. Society sucks!!

[@williamforbes5826]

@@ModelA Truly a sad day when your attempts to help and inform are what becomes grounds for people to attack your integrity. Withholding of dangerous or illegal knowledge is a wise course. MacGiver wannabes can go elsewhere...
