I know of a few here in the Chicago area, and in nearby (well, relatively speaking) Rockford, Illinois. Any of you whom have attended the March Meet, will know who I am referring to. Two are home / club layouts, while the others are home layouts. Like Martin stated, some are quiet about advertising their layouts to the world. I am a two railer, no layout, but would love the space for one. I generally do not advertise my collection, not only for security reasons, but to not have people with a bunch of kiddos from knocking on my doors wanting to look at what I own! Now don't mark me as a snoot....... I do not mind sharing my hobby with other serious modelers, but most kids, and some adults, just do not understand the delicate nature of some of our models. And like many, I don't desire someone grabbing an expensive Overland brass diesel and knocking parts off with heavy handedness.
