Then forget about trains and go to the beach!
There is an annual swap meet in Ft Myers sometime in the early part of the year, forget when exactly. You should Google it. There is also a cool supper excursion train that runs a couple of times a week.

I saw the excursion train. Was looking for a museum, train show, ect. Looking for thevswap meet as we speak.

We'll be in Ft Myers (Sanibel Island) January and February. The train show is a lot of fun. Good train shop on Metro Parkway. Feel free to communicate with me via my E mail profile. Lew Schneider a k a lewrail
Here is the link to the railroad museum in Parrish Florida. Its about 90 miles north of Ft Myers on 301.
You could also subscribe to Zitnik trains in Pinellas Park Fl mailing list as he e mails weekly newsletters listing Florida Train meets.
Drive across alligator alley and spend the day with Bill over at Ready to Roll Trains in Miami.
Our club has our annual train show Mar 9 and 10 at the Bradenton convention center in Palmetto Fl. You can also visit our club, RealRail just north of the Sarasota airport. If you would like more info, let me know.
