If in the area be sure to drop by the 2nd Annual Model Train Show presented by the Pensacola Model Railroad Club, Saturday and Sunday, September 11-12. For details, including photos from the 2003 show, see www.trainweb.org/pmrc/ or contact Jack Rowles, flexiflyer@usa.net, (850) 937-8179. There will be at least two O gauge dealers including Trains by Johnson, and layouts from Z to G.
O-gauge layouts are by South West Alabama Railroader Modelers (SWARM) and Bay Area Rail Roaders (BARR). For a look at these see www.lots-trains.org and click on “Operating Layouts” then on “SWARM Modular Lionel Layout,” and also see www.bayarearr.com. BARR is a new club with layout based on Independent Hi-Railers specifications, using AtlasO track, wide radius curves, PVC pipe legs and TMCC controls.
