The Greater Florida LEGO® Train Club (GFLTC)

How we Started:

The club started when Dennis and Nick discovered Robin displaying his LEGO® Trains at the H & R Trains Show back in the Fall of 1999. They talk for at least an hour about LEGO® Trains and displaying at train shows. Just a few weeks later they met again, picked the club name and set the basic ground work for the club. By December of 1999, they did their first public layout as a club at the Great American Train Show (GATS) in Tampa, Florida and it was a big hit for all. Today the club has an ever growing membership and displays at numerous train show around the state of Florida.
