Having just moved from Melrose Park, Illinois to Elizabeth, Illinois. I am looking for new Garden Railways friends. I moved my eight hundred feet of track to my new hillside home and am having a hard time finding a level location set up another railroad. I have donated some of my rolling stock and track to the Elizabeth Historical Socity. They are building a around the celing layout in their railroad station in down town Elizabeth.

I am most gratified to hear from you all, maybe if we go on some more we will find some one closer than we thought and make soem worthwhile acquaintances..
Could i ask everyone to either not use abbreviations or better still explain them, yes explaining is better. Dont forget people a thousand miles away may have no idea of what you mean irrespective of how familiar it is to you.
For your info Phil I am quite aware of other railway people around me here in Queensland, i can access a list of them from the LGB Garden Railway club in Sydney of which I have been member for years. I am surprised that you haven't read many of my articals published in the clubs magazine. The last one was labled "Echoes from the Deep North"
Thanks for the adivce though.

Hi
My name is Tony, ( Refer web site www.gscalechuffchuff.com)
I am the grumpy looking fella in the photo. If you want to know Why i looked grumpy my wife took the photo. She is one that says smile for the camera but takes so low to take the picture that rigger mortus sets in.
At my age you can only say sex for so long...
I live in Trentam, which is a suburb of Upper Hutt, North Island, New Zealand.
We are 18 hours ahead of the forum time so when you were into September 11, we were well into September 12th....From that logic we knew about your trade centre before you, but of course it does not work that way.
Anyway, Garden railways fanatics are like hens teeth around here and if their is anyone local send me a message...
Tony

I'm not sure who would be concidered near other than Buckeye riviter. Benny where is Lebanon located in the state? I have family in South Western PA. I thought of going to Monroville for the train show this weekend and visiting my Grandma, but this weekend was also my tenth anniversery. The wife might have frowned on a trainj show.

I live near Capt. in Rosharon, Texas USA. Rosharon I call "Crackville" with the large flows of drugs that come through. 1 feed store and 2 gas stores.
Near Houston about 32 miles due South deep in the woods...leased I can not see my buddies next door.
That is why I need a train horn "P3" please or a "Steam Whistle" to blow @ 4:00am every morning [}:)][:D][}:)][:D]
Really I love my neighbors[;)]

I live in Premont, Texas which is approx 200 mi North of Brownsville and 250 mi South of the Alamo in San Antonio (everyone remembers the Alamo, don't they). I think the closest person to me is Bluebonnet-71 in Houston, Texas; lest of course some of Corpus Christi, the Rio Grande Valley or San Antonio posts here beyond my knowledge.

I live in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. I feel like I am the last remaining unicorn, or dragon, or something. There is nobody within 5000 miles of me. Is there??? Anybody out there?? I would fall over and faint if another South African answered. I am sure that I am all alone.

The closest person to me I suppose is Kimbrit in Blackpool England.I don't know of anyone else in Great Britain posts here which is a shame.I have no chance of ever seeing some of the great layouts that I see here.Even the clubs are miles away from me.I'll just carry on building my little isolated empire[:)]
At least no-one can frown on the crazy things I do with the railway!

I live in Deep River, CT. which is midway between New Haven and New London about five miles north of Long Island Sound. The only forum member that I'm aware of is someone who lives in Trumbull, about thirty miles away.

This Sunday I am going to a open house in Northlake Illinois which is another suberb of Chicago.I'm sure I will meet many more garden railroaders there.
