Pennsylvanians!

Hey, Bob, a.k.a. CMRproducts, I'll try to come to the jamboree. I don't think I can. If I come I'll look for you there. I'm 12. I have a home layout. On that HO layout at the club, what natural materials did you use for the trees? They look pretty good. Most of my scenery is done, about 85%. The trees on my mountains and hills I made from poly fiber. I take black poly fiber from a local craft store, and I put Woodland Scenics foam on it. It looks like any hill in Appalachia. I have a point to point main and a continuous main, because I have brothers and they love to just watch the trains and follow them. I also let them run it, occasionally. They are REALLY into trains. My one brother is 6 and is building a 4X8 layout by himself. In my opinion, they are going to be prodigys.

Native Pennsylvanian (Charleroi --30 miles or so due south of Pittsburgh) but moved to Texas 17 years ago. Getting away from the snow was part of the reason but the biggest reason was that my job moved to Texas and I do like to eat.

Y'all (I've learned to speak Texican) who still live in Pennsylvania and have a very thick roof over your train room should get down on your knees and thank God you have a basement. Concrete slabs do not make good train rooms!!!

You are only about an hour south of Clarion! We are having a Jamboree in Clarion on Saturday (APR 2) starts about 8:00am. We will be having clinics, displays and switching contest plus other things to do.

Come on up and have a fun day of model railroading. There will be layout tours after the Jam.

The Jam is open to everyone.

It is the basement of the Methodest Church at the corner of 6th and Wood St.

Hi fellow Pennsylvanians I live up in the North East corner of PA about 46 miles north of Scranton. I was born and raised here, but worked in NY State. Only about 4 miles as the crow flies to the PA/NY boarder but 10 miles to drive it. I live in Susquehanna. It used to be a Railroad Town, and most of the people back in the 3O's to the 50's worked for the railroad. I had 3 brothers that work for the ERIE RR, but the RR was on the way out when I got into the work force, so I didn't work for them.

I grew up in Schuylkill Haven and also lived in Enola and St. Clair. I was attending the Middletown Campus of Penn State when Three Mile Island happened (exiting the campus you can see the Reactor Buildings about a mile and half in front of you. Five years ago I moved to Lake Mary, Florida. Sure do miss the mountains (but not the ice and snow!).

Trainluver1 asked everyone if anybody lived in Texas, now I'm asking if anyone lives in Pennsylvania. I live in Dubois, a northcentral town, about an hour from Horseshoe Curve. I wonder if I have any model railroading neighbors?

I'm south of you, in East Brady. My dad was a teacher at the DuBois High School for over 30 years.

I live outside of Apollo,Pa. Along the Conemmaugh. If it wasn't for my love of the Bessemer, my layout would be Pennsy only.

I feel your pain, bro. If it wasn't for my love of the Pennsy, my layout would be Bessemer only. [:)]

Wow there are people located in my area well in my state! Far away from my area but in the same state. I am located in Philadelphia. I have been to Horseshoe Curve too. Iw ent last year and absolutely loved it!! I sat on the side of a cement slab and read the MR magazine and watched the trains go by. What a truly great day
