I can't help you, but I'm in the same boat and will be interested to hear the replies.
I've got a regular show 3-4 times a year, and a flea market twice a year (it's hit and miss) but no real "train culture" to speak of.

| The magazine Classic Toy Trains has shows listed by state every month. You might check their website to see if they are listed on line.
