Hey guys,
My family is going down to Orlando, Florida in a few weeks and I was wondering if there was any Railroad attractions around there? (Hobby shops, Museums, etc.) Thanks for your help.
I first discovered model railroading as a hobby at a mr shop in one of those huge permanent flea markets in the Orlando area in 1996. I cannot remember the name of the market, but it advertised itself as the world’s largest flea market. It had a great lhs inside.

This question was asked in a different way a couple of weeks ago. There are a couple of hobby shops that carry model railroad items in various scales. I think the best HO shop in the area is Colonial Photo & Hobby. If you visit this shop they can give directions to a couple of HO clubs and a “N” scale club in the vicinity. These clubs are usually open to visitors on Saturdays. The hobby shop mentioned has a web site which has directions and a map.
Disney World itself is the greatest, “Look at/ride on,” railroad attraction in the Orlando area.
It should be. Walt Disney was a model railroader - live steam, at that.
