Just where is the American mid-west ? I would think Chicago is down east, not quite as far as Maine, but still in the east. Kansas? wouldn't that be the centre of the mid-west? ? What ever happened to North or South Dakota?? Nebraska (with all 350 people) shouldn't it be the Capitol of the mid-west.

Never heard anyone call Scale Model "The Dungeon" before, but I won't argue either. Did you know that in a past life it was a bowling alley. It does have a rather musty smell, but don't tell Doug I said so.[:P][(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D][:-^][swg]

Cincinnati, Ohio. As far as the "real" midwest is concerned, we are a remote outpost on the border with Appalachia. To the west of me are corn-hicks, to the east are coal-hicks. And, of course, there's Kentucky, which if pronounced correctly has the word "hick" in its name.

Whitewater Wi. in the southeastern part of the state . PS; Fiatfan, I noticed on your reply that you like the AZ / NM area , If you ever get down to Socorro NM. go west on hwy 60 about 60 mi. to the VLA site. " Very Large Aray " You should see the rail line that the radio telescope dishes move on . Double track for one mover, the dishes are so huge that they need two tracks to move them. I was lucky to see a mover in action one time. Here's the site ( www.vla.nrao.edu )
