What would you recommend seeing in terms of anything train related in or around Orlando? Thanks. S-gauge would of course be ideal, but anything train related will be appreciated. Thanks.

Well, you could take the early morning tour of Disney's rail facilities. I believe you can get the tickets at any of the Disney hotels. I've heard it's pretty interesting and I would do it if/when I get down there.

You might want to ask this question on the main 3 rail forum, a lot more people viewing there.

Thanks for the idea an tip. I noticed in CTT there's a train shop listed about 20 minutes away - - Colonial Photo and Hobby ("All scales"). Anyone familiar with them? I also found this - -

Watching huge freight trains running right through the CBD is interesting.

The steam locos running at Disney World a really nice with interesting stories behind their saving from boneyards in Mexico.
