Train City, Inc. which has been located in Erie, PA for 27 years is moving to Cape Canaveral, Florida. We have stopped operations in Erie as of today, but will re-open in Florida in around three weeks. We hope to be fully operational by September 1.
Our web site will be up throughout the move.

Is this a brick & Mortar shop that I can visit? If so I'll be sure to stop by in October (headed that way for a launch).

Thanks for the reminder!
Best of luck.

Hey Doug,
Most of Florida has rebuilt everything due to hurricane damage or has torn it down. I live a few miles south of West Palm Beach airport. Even Homestead FL has recovered from Hurricane Andrew.
However hurricane insurance is at a very high price & going up, even thought the governer has put a price cap on insurance raises the companies keep carpet bagging us on insurance down here.

Was the term for Yankees who showed up with their clothes in carpet bags under the Yankees' era of "Re-construction" [actually meaning Destruction] I guess those Yankees are still up to NO GOOD.
I don't see any reason for me to stop in Erie, PA anymore. The best store in town just moved out. I wonder who will be last and will turn out the lights in Erie.

Lee......now look at what you have gone and done. Chief will probably rescind his offer for this "Yank" to come down for a visit, some of his grits, and Pam's red-eyed gravy. I'm not forgetting the biscuits with scrambled eggs either. Back to the drawing board.
Hey Brent, didn't you say you went to school in Erie? Was Lake Erie College for Women still there when you were? It was there when I was back in school at the turn of the 20th century.

IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
Jack;
Lake Erie College for Women is in Painesville, Ohio. I remember hearing it referred to, on several occasions, as Lake College for Eerie Women!!!!
Mel Hazen; Jax, FL Ride Amtrak. It's the only way to fly!!!
Mel.....your right! Painesville it was. We used to drive up there on occasion to look for train shops and measure the Lake effect snows when we got tired of watching the Cuyuhoga River burning or Dennis Kucinich mooning the folks on shore from his boat.
Jack,
If you ever tried buying insurance here in south Florida you will understand what I mean!! Insurance down here is second only to gasoline prices. You can get an attorney cheaper than you can get insurance down here is probally what I should have said.
Lee....up this way in MA., a heavily regulated insurance industry has guaranteed some of the highest insurance costs in the nation and a scarcity of carriers willing to do business here. Coupled with little or no fraud investigation in the auto and medical arenas.....the simplest of things wind up costing way to much. Don't get me started on taxes, tolls, and fees.
That would explain why, in the most recent census, MA. saw a DECLINE in population. We spend the most and don't get the return.
