Northwest of Lake Placid, NY, 40 miles south of the Canadian border.

Simply, the best place on earth. Not necessarily for watching trains though.

A good old thread, and a good one to introduce my new user name, Muddy Creek. (Put NorthernStudio back into strictly professional usage only.) I'll be bothering you all as the Muddy Creek & Northern moves off the CAD computers and onto foam.

Groton, Connecticut. Submarine Capital of the World. Home of the U.S.'s largest submarine builder, Electric Boat and also home to the U.S. Naval Submarine Base New London. (Don't ask why NAVSUBASE New London is in Groton. The answer is long, involved, and not particularly interesting.)

Can you tell that I'm a retired Navy submariner?

White Lake, Michigan. West of Pontiac, and North of Detroit, but not as far from Detroit as I'd like to be. Somebody made the comment earlier about being in the right and left armpits. I guess Detroit is farther down and to the rear, if you get my meaning?[:D]

Carmichael, in north-central California, just out of Sacramento and about seven miles west of Roseville, where the big UP (former SP) yard is. It's about fifteen miles west of the Sierra Foothills and the old SP Donner Pass line. So naturally, I model Rio Grande Big Steam, right? Go figure.

Green Bay, WI. However, grew up in Indian Head Park, Il and used to ride METRA to work every day during summers and holidays down into Chicago. Grew up right on the RACETRACK - talk about a childhood filled with great railroading.

Also was able to go to the DuPage County Fairgrounds once a month for the Great Midwest Train Show. THE BEST!!!! Greasy burgers, tons of sellers, some GREAT layouts (Little Q especially), etc... Dad and I used to go out to the White Pines Model Railroad Club in Bensonsville to see their GIGANTIC layout.

Good stuff......

Me too, as in I must be here 'cause I'm not all there. <rim shot>

But seriously folks...I was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, but moved to this area back in 1979 so I could buy a house I could afford in a decent area, and then start a family.

HERE, is the small "city" (pop. 10K about) of Peru, IL which is on the Illinois River about 90 miles southwest of Chicago, 60 miles northeast of Peoria. I decided to model a rural area, granger railroad so if I needed to see how something looked or scenery, etc. in the country, I can hop in the car drive about four blocks to the Illinois River Bridge, cross over, and be out in the country in a manner of minutes. Very convenient to my modeling! Now if I could only get a time machine and go back...

my wife says in a house with too much junk, I say in a house without enough model trains. Model trains, they're not the way to heaven, but my Mrs. says she might send me there if I buy anymore.
Keep on TRAINing. FDM
