Phil, when we moved from western suburbs of Phila, on the list of new house wants was a room JUST for my husband & his train layout, got a bathroom too ! Belongs to a model train club on Hilton Head, mostly men of a certain age. For his 60th birthday celebration, he drove 2 trains in the UK, 1 of the great little trains of Wales, the other in Loughborough, Eng..full sized train. Quite fun & on his bucket list before we knew there was such a thing !
