QUOTE: Originally posted by dieselfan04 Dragon. I'm from Bennettsville, just north of Florence. There is a descent hobby shop over in Florence and a few modelers over there. I'm in the same boat as you. Just doesn't seem to be that many model railroaders in South Carolina. The first response I get when I talk to someone is they used to have trains but they became discouraged because they were junk. I feel like if they got a good look at quality trains they would change their minds. What scale do you model? I'm into HO with hand laid track and mostly scratch built structures. I model the Southern Pacific from the early 60's until the end. I just change out the Locomotives and cars to change the time period. If you like we could stay in touch but e-mail.
QUOTE: Originally posted by navygunner I'm out in the Greenville area. I do N Scale. I haven't found any clubs around here. There is some pretty good action up in Hendersonville, NC. I don't think that model railroading is dead in this area as there are 4 or 5 hobby shops in the area.

Typical altitude of some Yankees that move in and start complaining about the locals because we're not like the people or the place they moved away from. Yankee go home. Bill

Bill Bill, There it is, the stereotypical namecalling. As it stands you just proved my point about people in the crappy south. Thank you for your warm southerner hospitality, and I was referring to the area I'm living in, not you in general go figure.

The fact is that no matter where you live you'll find good people and bad people. And by the way, don't defend yourself by saying that you didn't mean what you did in fact say. Say what you mean and if you don't mean to generalize, then don't do it. Southern hospitality is alive and well for those who are wiling to overcome their own prejudicial attitudes.
