Grandpa Ron has a subscription to Model Railroader magazine and we both usually read it from cover to cover. Grandpa enjoys the articles on operations and I read up on the scenery articles. The December 2008 issue has a wonderful example of grandpas passing hobbies on to grandkids. It is a similar story for how Grandpa Ron got into model trains and I’m sure there are many more similar remembrances. I have added as a separate page the Trains of Thought column by Tony Koester. It is reprinted with permission from Model Railroader magazine.

The Freight Station Museum in Greeley, CO
April 16, 2009Grandpa Ron was wondering why I have not put any TRAINS on the blog yet! He found his December 2008 Model Railroader magazine and said: This new museum in Greeley would be neat if you could find the website. Ha! That was an easy challenge for Grandma Sue & Google! Here is a pre-opening video on the web by Skip Weythman. Here is the main wesite of the museum which has not only a link to the Model Railroader magazine but also some awesome scenery photos, as well as other train buff stuff!
