[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by vaiomega1</i> <br /><br />I've noticed over the years that nobody seems to model the south, especially florida. Even people who live there don't base the layouts they build on the local terrain. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I lived in Florida for about 1 year a long time ago, in the Delray Beach / Boca Raton / Ft. Lauderdale area. In my limited experience of Florida life, my impression of railroading in Florida was the main line of the F.E.C. running along I-95 or the Dixie Hwy. Lots of grade crossings. Very long freights. No industries, few sidings (that I noticed back then anyway), nothing but through trains (never saw a train stop once), and dead flat of course - the best vantage points for almost anything were the highway overpasses. <br /> <br />Not exactly the most exciting railroad geography to model, but I guess it would make a good N-Trak module or two [:D]
