Sometimes You Just Don't Know................

Sometimes you just don't know what's going on around you. Local modelers may exist in your area and you just don't know it. I stumbled onto an O scale display layout in Pulaski, VA today. Pulaski is about 40 minutes down the road. The Raymond F. Ratliff Transportation Museum  http://www.theratcliffemuseum.com/ contains the Milton Brockmeyer Train Diorama. Milton lived in  Pulaski and built an O scale, two-rail layout with the entire town, all the buildings in the town that existed in the late 1920's. Cool. They even scratch built a N&W 611 that used a sewing machine motor! The locomotive was very well built. Worth a stop.
