as a matter of fact there is a place to check out. The Whistle Stop in Palm Harbor US 19 to Tampa Rd to 19th Street South the owner name is Joe Sever he has a 36' X 36' layout every square inch of the board is filled. He's a real lionel freak just like me.

for more exact directions go to the lionel web site under find a local dealer. Joe is a really nice man and totally into lionel you may want to call first so he can get set up here's the number [phone] tell him Marty sent ya. I built a cover for some of his display shelves to reduce theft. It didn't come out the way I hoped but it works.

If your looking to purchase stuff.....Hollash Trains is a dealer in Riverview (30 min from Tampa). They carry O and 027. Mostly Lionel and K-line I think. Some MTH, Atlas and Williams to. They also get collections in to sell. They sell out of their home, but there is lots to look thru. Worth the trip I think. I always manage to find something cool. Just call them for directions. Here's the web site:
