This thread is making me a little :cry: ...homesick...
I spent my boyhood years from age 5 through 18 in Ocala, then college in Deland, with trips all over the state during that time but mostly in central FL. There are many modelgenic places down there. If I weren't so committed to '20s and '30's railroading in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, central Florida in the 1980's would be high on my list of modeling subjects. SoCal industrial areas would be another. Oh well. Maybe the next layout...
I remember one day driving through town, following a tank car down the street in Ocala. Nice street running in a small towl with neat brick buildings. Those Red & Black CF7's in Florida Central or Florida Northern livery are nice.
I'll try to lend a hand with memories or ideas if necessary.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
