Overview	Odessa, FL - The F scale favored by Sundance Central measures about 1/20th the size of real trains. For comparison, Lionel's O scale models are about 1/48th the size of trains. The tiniest, Z-scale, shrinks model railroads to about 1/220th the size of the real thing. F scale is even slightly larger than the G scale typical of many outdoor, garden model railroad displays. Hours for the opening weekend show will be: from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. Friday; from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Saturday; and from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Sunday.

Managed to squeeze in yesterday to a "standing room only" open house.. Parking was unbelieveable too. I have to say the place never looked better. With all of the before-hand advertising, they should have had a most enjoyable showing for this club. GREAT JOB EVERYONE... I took a family member who mentioned "he had come over 1000 miles" to see and enjoy it... (Of course, it wasn't his only reason for coming to our sunny state!! Elaine
