My good friend Steve Berkheimer sent me some more great photos of alligators and they show him in the reeds and lilly pads. Excellent!
If you have some good swamp photos, would you share them with me?

Exciting coverage of the On30 Okefenokee Swamp Railroad, a model train layout constructed in On30. This unusual layout is based on the prototype Hebard Cypress Company and the Waycross & Southern Railroad that occupied this large Georgia swamp in the 1920's.

About Me
- Scott G. Perry
- I've been a model railroader all my life and never remember not having trains. I started out with an N-scale layout when I was five, moved in to HO until I was 30, switched to S scale for another few years, then to On30, HO and then On30 again!

Scott,
ReplyDeleteWe lived in Orlando for over 30 years and saw way too many of the gators then we wanted to see. If you want to get a zillion gator pictures, then visit Gatorland Zoo in Kissimmee, FL. We used to visit it all of the time. Check them out at "http://www.gatorland.com/"
