Roo, thank you for your extension of hospitality. If and when you are in the Mid Atlantic area there are dozens of great 0 scale RRs that would be a joy to visit. Any chance your travels will coincide with the o scale nationals next year? THAT would be a great time for visitation. 2018 site will be outside of Washington DC. The hot bed area of 0 scale 2 rail. I would be glad to help you get around to the open houses.
Right now i am leaving for the Indy show, probably off line for a few days.
