Good idea, but I'm at least 2 hours away from even catching a glimpse of another FSM member. I did meet up with hwells at a Norman OK IPMS meeting the other day. Had a great time, but just too long of a drive to make on a regular basis. Especially with gas going up.

Southeastern Oklahoma, a geographic oddity – 2 hours from everywhere

Well, my suggestion would be that you check out the Frappr Map that philp started for FSM members and see who is near you.  http://www.frappr.com/finescalemodeler. 

I'd like to meet other modelers too, but I just don't know any nearby.

Nice Idea!  I know at least one other member within my range.  Hi buff, we're still supposed to meet some day at Hobby Junction Express.  If anyone else is interested, maybe we could be more.  I would really like to meet Zokissima who live in Ontario.

Haha, yeah I wouldn't mind getting to meet you or buff. I drive up to Quebec once a month anyways, so maybe one of these days we can arrange something

I met Anthony14, and he's a very nice young guy. I haven't been around much in town to work with him or even e-mail, but it was definitely nice to meet someone, and will continue to work at it.

A nice place to meet at would be Hobby Junction Express.  It's right next to the P.E. Trudeau international airport.  They have plenty of model and aftermarket stuff there.  The personel is friendly and there is a lot of people discussing about train and models.  Since I can go there about anytime, tell me whenever you want to go and we'll meet.  Could be this week, next month or next year, doesn't matter.

I think that would be a GREAT Idea. I would like to meet some other models and freinds I have on here. I live between Philly PA and Reading PA, so if anyones near me and would like to hook up sometime let me know. I would be willing to drive some

Have a GREAT day all

Can you be more specific...I am right Down Route 81, bout an hour from Harrisburg, so not too far from Reading then.

Hmmmm don't know where Rt. 81 is. I am right at Rt. 100 and 73 in Boyertown. I think Harrisburg is a long drive from here.  I am about 45mins from Reading PA right down Rt. 422 East.

Let me know

Bud

Hay JoeRugby it says your from Virginia. Is that right ?

If so Philly would be closer.

Bud

Well if your ever up this way let me know, maybe we can hook up

Windsor Ontario or Windsor Quebec?  Cause I live in Drummondville which is about 30 minutes from Windsor QC

There's a Windsor in Quebec???? I didn't know that...... I'm from Ontario.

Yeap!  It's a lot smaller than Windsor ON but it's there.  Their economy is based on wood transformation and paper production.

You're about 12 hours away from Montreal, so it may be difficult to meet.

12 hours!!!!!!!! From Montreal!!!!!!!!!! By foot, mabye, but by car, it's more like 4. I know, because I did that a couple years ago when my family was vacationing in Atlantic Canada, and we passed through Quebec.Must be 12 hours in traffic jams.

Well, a quick look at mapquest showed 9 hours and 40 minutes for a distance of 557 miles.  So maybe 12 hours was a little exagerated but you would have to maintain a average speed of 139 miles per hour (224 km/h) to make it in 4 hours!  Do you live in Windsor Ontario near the US borders next to Detroit?
