Bardstown,KY. Local RR is RJ Corman. We have My Old Kentucky Dinner Train along with occasional short line trains.(I rarely see them. ) It used to be a branch of the L&N. If you go to the south end of our county you will find the Kentucky Railway Museum,which has old L&N equipment,like the No. 152 Steam Engine(I can't remember what kind it is.)

St Cloud, MN Those of you who have responded from the Minneapolis area, I would like to know where a decent LHS for HO is in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. St Cloud doesn't offer much and I've been to about three locations in the Minneapolis area and wasn't impressed.

I have traveled the world in search of a basement for my trains. Tulsa, Orlando, Kadena Japan, Newport News, Tucson, St. Louis, Saudi Arabia, Texarkanna, Montgomery, and now Columbia SC. Never found a basement so I'm gonna settle for a 2 car garage.

Collegeville, PA where the Reading had a station stop on the old Perkiomen branch (The station has been long gone & the right of way is now a bike trail).

It's also a few miles north of the Reading/NS main line between Philly & Reading; some great rail fanning locations!

Sorry JPMorrison I didn't get back to you earlier, but I'm originally from Brookfield WI, moved to Milwaukee-Wauwatosa border after college. I live right on Interstate 94, and about 4 blocks from the old Milwaukee Road Airline behind the Allis Chalmers complex. Are you from WI or familiar with Milwaukee?
