I spent Spring Break in Florida and had the chance to make a visit to the Suncoast Center for Fine Scale Modeling in Odessa. It's the home of the Sundance Central, the Silverton Central, the Muskrat Ramble, the Dolly Varden and numerous dioramas--most notably models by Brian Nolan. Dave Revelia, Frank Palmer and Jon Addison were there and gave me a look around. It's beyond belief! The crew from Train Masters was scheduled to come in the day after my visit to do some filming.  In looking through the April MRH, I saw an ad mentioning the Sundance coming this month to Train Masters TV. If you're not familiar with the museum or these layouts, I think you'll be blown away.  It's simply the best collection of models and layouts I've ever seen and I'm looking forward to the segment.  In the meantime, here are some pictures I took during my visit.
