Had to make a quick trip down to Vero Beach area in FL yesterday and will be heading out tomorrow for a leisurely drive back north to NC. Are there any interesting layouts down here to visit?

I would contact Marty F. There are at least two that I know of that Marty has talked about.
Nothing in Vero beach FL that I know of.
Try looking up the Roundhouse South hobby shop, that's a little bit north of Vero Beach going toward Daytona Beach.

Sam,
If you would care to detour about 45 minutes off Interstate 95 on your way home, you're welcome to visit my layout.
My E-mail is in my profile.
of course, Barry and the Roundhouse II are in CENTRAL florida, not south florida.
Being that I used to live in south Miami. Vero is more like central Florida.

South Florida has many beautiful world class layouts. Many are by invite. I have been friends with Mike at SMARTT and he has high end world layouts all over the state. Rich Roman from New Jersey has Florida covered with some of his world class layouts. Sam, call me ahead of time the next time you are heading south and I can set you up. I will be in Florida next month if you are going to be in the area.

where? he asked.
Thanks guys - Barry, we're in Ft Meyers tonight and will visit the Edison Museum tomorrow and perhaps Sanibel Island. Our route is unsure after that so let me check back with you and perhaps we can come by in a couple of days. Thanks for the invite sir!
Sam:
There's a TCA train show in Largo on Saturday. Largo is near St. Pete and Clearwater.

Sam;
We are about 45 minutes north of Ft. Myers in Port charlotte, just off I-75.
The layout here is pretty tiny, but the refreshments and company are first class!
Just let me know if you want to stop by; you are most welcome.

Sam,
Drop me an E-mail. A day or two's notice would be good.
Hi Sam,
If you're on Sanibel tomorrow come on by. I can't show you my layout--it is in Boston--
but I do have plenty of photos and conversation. By the way, Marty F and I are good friends. My number is 617 633 0875. I'm free for lunch if that works for you.

Rats!
Something came at at home and we've had to cut the trip short. Would have really enjoyed meeting you guys too. This whole thing was last minute due to some family business with my inlaws and such 'outings' rarely go as planned!
Thanks so much for the kind invitations and perhaps we'll be able set this up again.
