Fantastic stuff. Being a huge Florida history buff myself, I would love to see this stuff in TRS. I have a few books here dedicated just to early FL railroading that may have some info should you need it. There is also some great sites dedicated to it as well. Try www.taplines.net for pictures and history about the area as well. I hope you pursue this, very exciting time and area to model. Great work so far.

Nice!!! Looks alot better than my line did when I started it.

May I ask where did you get the sign that says "Peacock Springs"? I asume its renameable.

I wouldn't mind creating a few early FL depots for this. Let me know and I can start digging up some info.

Thanks for the great compliments everyone!!

I got the signs from Yosemite Valley RR on the DLS..... This is crossing a creek on the approach to the town of Wilmarth on the Suwannee River.
