I know I havnt posted much on here latley, but my life has gone through some major changes. Until now I only sharred this with my good friend Tom Johnson. After 21 years my career on the NS is over. I have since left Indiana (my home for 45 years) and relocated to Florida. Im looking forward to modeling again just as soon as everything is unpacked.

Wow!

That's quite a change my friend.  Are you still railroading?  Best wishes in your new home.

What area in Florida?

Depending exactly where you are, there are lots of clubs in this state that you could check into.  In Tampa Bay area there are several HO and N scale clubs and I know of an S scale as well.  I belong to the West Pasco Model Railroad Assoc. in New Port Richey.  We are currently expanding our HO layout and building an N scale as well.  The expansion is being done for OPS sessions, so an actual railroaders' view on things would help. Great club in Plant City and one in Largo that we work with.  So, once you're unpacked and want to get back into things there are lots of choices.

redP - The Villages has a railroad club of some sort, and they have regular shows or swap meets. 

Here are some of some of their recent activities:
