Join an Existing Club

< 1 min read

Request access to an existing club during registration or through the club-request option available to your account.

  1. Create your own My-Trains.com account.
  2. Choose the option to join an existing club.
  3. Select or enter the requested club as directed.
  4. Submit the request.
  5. Wait for a Club Manager to approve or decline the club assignment.
  6. Wait for site-level account approval if the account is still Pending.

Expected result #

When the account is approved and the club request is approved, the club appears in the TIM Inventory selector with Viewer, Editor, or Manager access.

Billing #

People joining an existing club are covered by that club’s paid Club Membership. Do not purchase a separate Personal Membership unless you also want a separate personal inventory.

If the club is missing #

Confirm that both account approval and club approval are complete. A Club Manager can review the club assignment; only the My-Trains.com site administrator can change the site-level account status.
