Among the many railroad themed attractions in Strasburg Pa., is the National Toy Train Museum. (https:\/\/www.tcatrains.org\/museum\/)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love antique toy trains, so on a cloudy Saturday a few weeks ago, Kris and I paid a visit. This is a neat place and if I’d been fifty years younger, I wouldn’t have willing left! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I find fascinating is the wide selection of railroad equipment that toy train manufacturers have focused on over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On display is everything from early electric locomotives, and Union Pacific’s Pullman-built diesel streamliners of the 1930s, right up to relatively modern machines including Amtrak’s Genesis diesels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these photos using my Lumix LX3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stop in for a visit sometime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
