Glenview, Illinois - About 15 miles NW of Chicago. Really upscale suburban area, but I snuck in 15 years ago before things got crazy in the real estate market. Worried about the property taxes goin up, but I'll try to make this my first and last house.

Austin is the capitol of Texas, about a 3 hour drive south of Dallas, 1 hour drive north of San Antonio on I-35. It should show up on your maps. The PBS music show "Austin City Limits" is taped here, Lance Armstrong is a pretty well known resident, and several famous musicians are from around here. Yes, we cut grass here year 'round...(wink) and we have 4 seasons, although fall, winter, and spring are fairly short.

Jamestown, New York is in the Southwest corner of the state. Kind of between Buffalo and Erie, PA. Beautiful country with 4 seasons.

Retired from Westchester Co. N.Y. in 1996. Live in Mt. Pleasant, SC. Hot and humid in the summer but beautiful most of the year. The reason we don't have basements is because we live in the Lowcountry. Water would be a huge problem with a basement. Am building my first layout on a 4x8 in the garage. Will be working on a pulley system to hault it up for storage. Any suggestions?

Seeing all these responses from the Maryland area brings back a lot of fond memories. As a youngster, until about the fourth grade, we lived in the Bladensburg area. In the summer we spent a lot of weekends at a place called Popes Creek(?), all the parents chowing down on crab and most of the kids out on the docks trying to fish with the scraps. Did a lot of crabbing at nite too off the docks where the pilings had a light on them, a lot of fun unless one of them got a hold of you with their claws. [^]

San Diego is also the home of a toy train company that get no mention here because they don't advertize in toy train magazines and they make monorails but the kids are buying them and they are sold at Toys are Us.

Yes I am talking of Rokenbok.

FJ and G--


You and BB are welcome anytime, especially now would be good as the rabbits will eat anything now that the snow has accumulated, last year they ate through an electrical line that is of low current that provides outside lighting. After one big snow storm last year they and the deer also ate several new bushes, no spring prunning was needed. We had to say goodbye last year to our beloved 12 year old German Shepherd, I didn't realize what a great job he did keeping the animals away. I knew he did a spectacular job of keeping people in their cars but it didn't take the deer long to figure out he was gone. I sure miss him.
Jon

PS--If you come in the spring bring lots of tic repellent, I normally would pull two off of him everyday if he got into the heavy timber.

Fairhope, Alabama on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay. We're home to the annual Fairhope model train show the third weekend in March during the annual Fairhope Arts & Crafts Festival when the streets of the town are filled with artisans showing and selling their wares (no cars allowed downtown that weekend).

The show, this will be our 13th, is sponsored by SWARM (South West Alabama Railroad Modelers), an all-scale club that happens to own a modular O-gauge layout (about 14 x 36 feet). The area also boasts BARR (Bay Area Rail Roaders) with their brand new modular O-gauge layout featuring TMCC operation and large locomotives.

An added attraction this year, for those who come, is the Dead Sea Scrolls Exhibit at Mobile's Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Museum -- see www.scrollsmobile.org for more information. This is the only exhibition of these original scroll fragments, etc. scheduled for the southeastern US. Especially for Alabama, one of the scrolls contains the 10 Commandments.

Come see us!

I live in southeast Florida (West Palm Beach area). When we moved here from Michigan 3 years ago, I was amazed to see CSX running down the coast. I used to live in Plymouth, MI and CSX has a major north-south/east-west crossing in the middle of town. It can take you half an hour to get form one end of that little town to the other if CSX is in a bad mood! I even vaguely remember the Pere Marquettein the 1940s.

Houston, TX (actually just outside of Sugar Land which is just SW of Houston).

I have a BNSF rail that mainly has UP loco's on it. It is next to my neighborhood but I rarely hear the trains. I do however get to see them all the time when traveling Hwy 90. Once is a while we get to see an Army train (pulled by UP) or an Amtrack passenger. Once we saw a circus train. Those are always a treat.
