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. This was the 12th running of this event. Prototype Rails is a well attended and well run two day meet with numerous clinics, vendors, model displays and a pair of modular layouts. Mike reported attendance about 250 this year. Everyone there had the usual good time. One of the features of Prototype Rails is the Shake-N-Take modeling clinic, where a kit and kitbashing instructions are provided. Many of the previous models were on display.

Here are photos of some of the fine modeling 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
