After reading above , I am thinking of moving to W VA..................Tim

[lstriebeck]

Homecroft, in Indiana...actually a suburb of Indianapolis- near Southport.

I do tend to do more with the layouts in the winter. The summer seems to be filled with yardwork. In the summer, I tend to just go downstairs and play with the layout, and leave the work on it for the winter. Ah, it's great to be "7 years old" again...(in real life, I'm almost 55).

By the way, I just "discovered" Gargraves flexible track. It sure is great; especially for those "impossible" curves and little jogs I had to make on my latest expansion. (now if I could get the fireplace out of the room, or make the basement bigger...)

NSTRackman....I've been to Bluefield, WV and it is one great spot to watch trains rolling through the mountains of WV. In fact, WV is a great state to watch the big coal trains leaving the mines.

PE Tim, you would like WV especially in the vicinity of Davies or Smoke Hole.

Gormley, Ontario, Canada
Located about 20 miles north of Toronto. I think I'd go crazy in the winter if I didn't have the trains to play with but I'd say work is pread pretty even out over the year.
In Gormley the population has held steady at 73 for the last 50 years....cuz as soon as a gal gets pregnant she leaves town.

My wife & I are originally from Virginia Beach, VA. We moved to Northern VA 6yrs ago & now live in Haymarket, VA (about 40 miles west of DC). We're about 2 miles from the NS tracks & can hear the trains in the distance throughout the day. We have pretty good locations for wathing them as well.

Just below West palm Beach FL, Lake worth area, or near FL Turnpike exit 93 by two miles. Been in south Florida just over 21 years but have moved a few times, moved to Homestead first then Stuart then Lake Worth.
Thinking about leaving hurricane ally in a couple of years, probally after my wife gets her retirement years in with the county.
Origanally from Scranton PA, lived in Reading PA for about eight years, also lived in Stratford CT for about 10 years growing up as a child, parents moved to Reading PA
because of my dad's job. I liked Stratford but not the cold climate, beautiful area.
My grandfather worked for the Reading Company, the passenger division of Reading Railroad, had good retirement plan.
Currently I can watch either Florida East Coast Railway or CSX or Tri-Rail here in Palm Beach County FL

I live in Sturgeon Bay, WI

If anyone is curious where that is, it is on the peninsula north of Green Bay next to Lake Michigan.

Kind of a big tourist area.

Owego, NY.....Thats Upstate NY....Approx 4 hours north and west of NYCity.....1 hour south of Syracuse.....10 minutes north of the PA border......Gods country ....4 seasons all with ther own appeal.....lots of other seasons too - hunting, fishing, boating etc..... Train season is year -round. Just getting back into toy trains after my 7 yr old son discovered my old Post war O27 Lionel stuff in my attic. My dad had (lovingly)packed it away when i went off to college and chasing women...at this point I'm not sure who's hooked more - me or my son. Planning and building our new "1st layout" trying to make it modular in 4x4 or 4x3 sections. Using a variety of maunufactures stuff mostly post war Lionel with some K-line (particularly K-Line O27 Remote switches,some other accessories, and a Lackawana Porter)

Great Fun!

My wife and I were born and raised on the west side of Cleveland Ohio. Most of the family still resides there but we moved to Bloomington Indiana 30 years ago. My son just wrote his second novel --- a mystery based in Cleveland (on the west side) .... go figure! This forum has helped me a lot, thanks all..........

Berkley Springs, a resort town, has more massage therapists than

During the Cold War, a sprawling 112,000 sq. ft. Bomb shelter
was built to shelter members of congress in the event of a
nuclear attack. It's located beneath the famous
Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, WV.
.In 1921, West Virginia became the first state to have a sales
tax.

At the end of the "Guilded Age" in the late 1890's, the town of
Bramwell, WV had more millionaires per square mile than any
other city in the
US Many of their mansions have been restored and can be
visited by the public.
The first brick street in the world was laid in the city of
Charleston in 1873.

The first concrete street in the world was laid in the town of
Webster Springs, WV in 1903.
In 1956, Cecil Underwood (age 34) became the youngest governor
in the US In 1996, Underwood ran again and became the oldest governor in
the US

West Virginia has the oddest shape of any state. This was
because Union officials, during the Civil War, arranged all the pro-Union
counties of Virginia into a state which then seceded from that Confederate
State.

And lastly, WV was the first state to utilize food stamps!
