Who's Located in NE Co or SW Ne?
Posted by BillBrakeman on Tuesday, July 13, 2004 10:30 AM
I am a Newbie located in SW Nebraska. Are there any Garden Railroaders in the North Platte-Ogallala-McCook area or the Sterling-Julesburg, Co area? Please get in touch with me.

Ian,
Is that comment 'point'less or 'switch'less? and did Nicola manage to get you in the pool? Here I go, off topic again.............
Cheers,

I'm in SE NE. Nebraska City. My outlaws live in McCook. I go visit them when I get hungry.
If your ever in the area call. or e-mail

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Thank you guys for your responses. I am sorry to be so late with a reply.

Kim, BlueBonnet and Ian, As I said "thanks". Even if you can't help me from your locations I appreciate the warm welcomes.

BTH, darn, I just spent the better part of a week in Louviers, Co. I get to Denver irregularly but maybe you & I could get together the next time I'm there.

Marty, It is hard not to be aware of your presence in Ne. I am impressed that one of the great Gurus of the hobby is located in the same state as I am. I do plan to get in touch with you one of the times I am in the Lincoln-Omaha areas.

Bill

Thanks again, Bill

Bill,, Gurus????? I try to leave religion. heheheheh. I tell you, NE needs all the help it can to get this hobby going here. Maybe we can start laying track and meet somewhere in the middle.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Hey, Marty, it's an idea. My concept of Nebraska puts our two towns just about due east & west of each other, with only about three hundred miles separating us.. To make it interesting let's specify handlaid track only. If we start now maybe we could join up somewhere between Alma & Red Cloud in the year 09.
