[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by grandpopswalt Hey Cappy, We've been in Florida looking around for a new "nest". I've also been looking around for steam train museums down here. As far as I can see, there are no narrow gauge steam trains and very few standard gauge steam lines either. BTW, can you point me toward some of your political opinion forums? I'd like to see which way the wind is blowing regarding all the issues currently facing us. It sounds as though you're well on your way toward that dream layout, good for you, please keep us updated. Grandpopswalt [/quote] Grandpopswalt, Glad to see you are in good spirits. If you are looking for narrow guage steam that is running and/or a place that has an honest to goodness running steam shop you need to check out... http://www.tweetsie.com/ Here are some pics of the Loco-shop (almost looks like there putting together the Bachmann Set. [img]http://www.tweetsie.com/images/shop_overall.gif[/img] [img]http://www.tweetsie.com/images/12jacket.gif[/img] Allow me to quote from the site... "Visit North Carolina's first theme park, and take a trip back into the days of the Old West. Hop aboard the train for an unforgettable three-mile journey through the scenic mountains; but watch out for train robbers! Tweetsie Railroad also has amusement rides for all ages and live entertainment throughout the park.

I plan to do so...someday. As for political forums... I post mainly on the Web-forum of a local Conservative Talk Show host, albiet the "threadsters" are far from just being conservative. It has the most varied group of people, politically and socially. http://ericvonwade.com ...in the "communities" section. We hit every issue, from the Iraq War to the movie "ZULU" and from the current oil crisis to...gulp...women. I trust the forum editor will forgive this slight diversion, I tried to get a train/railroad discussion going there to no avail. There are several thousand topics to read from on some of our local and national issues, but it is not as "user friendly" as this site is. You can't, for example, edit you posts. Additional some people are...well, more coarse... than they are here. I hope that your opinion of me as a benevolent model railroader won't be tainted by what you read that I have posted there. I really have come to enjoy posting here, maybe even more than in that forum. Oh, yeah... If you want to look at a sideeffect of my posts on that forum and have the time to read these... I wrote some radio plays based on some of my ideas...they may have some inapproriate language, so please read them with that in mind (please don't think less of me for it) http://joecarrales.tripod.com/nightcorpus.html
