With the normal attraction of warmer weather, each January, Mike Brock, (owner of the Steam Freight Cars Yahoo Group list) puts together this fine meet in sunny Cocoa Beach, FL. Prototype Rails in its 19th year, a well attended and well run two day meet with numerous clinics, vendors, model displays and a modular layout. Mike reported attendance of 283 this year. Everyone there had the usual good time, and Mike's staff did a great job. One of the features of Prototype Rails is the Shake-N-Take modeling clinic, where a kit and kitbashing instructions are provided.

Here are photos of some of the fine modling on display, as you can tell it is not limited to the Steam era only. For more info on the Steam list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/STMFC
