I live in Stillwater, less than 10 miles from Elliots place. I'm in the process of trying to decide on a layout that I would like to build in my bedroom. Room is only 13x11 so the layout won't be big.

Modeling the "Fargo Area Rapid Transit" in O scale 3 rail.

I think the TCA meet is every month. I used to belong but at 200 miles each way it got spendy to drive up for such a small amt. I usually only went in the summer and they take off July and went to a picnic in august, so my money for the National and the local now goes to trains.
How many people do we have from Minnesota on this fourm.
I live 16 miles south of Marshall MN the home of schwans ice cream. Where are the rest of you guys from.
Dave.

Just returned from the Bandana Square sale. Not real big, but it was free. Just bought a book I didn't have. Noticed that the local TCA is having a swap meet 3/13/05 in Columbia Heights. $2, I think this is something new????

Hi Jim. Congrats on your first post. Do I know you? I used to be a member of the Bandana club.

I have to take my kids bowling tomorrow morning, so I won't be able to go.

I'm sure there is one Dave, but I don't seem to have the date for it. If you do come to town, drop me an email. I'm almost always around, and you are welcome to stop by. I don't live very far from Woodbury or White Bear Lake. By the way, I think the White Bear Lake show is the better one for 3 rail stuff, I haven't been to the Woodbury show in quite a while.

You must be talking to me Dave.[swg]

Yes, two!!! But they are display only, all scales, no sales.

The first is in Forest Lake at the Northland Mall, Jan 29 & 30.

The second is in Oakdale at Oakdale Center, Feb 19 & 20.

The Century College "show" flea market is Feb 5.

That's all I know.[8D]

Oops, I forgot to mention that I will be dragging my display layout to the shows.[;)]

Are there any train shows coming up in the near future. Way out here in the southwest I do not hear of any. Dave.
