Amazing and monumentally huge. I would love to see how the place is directed and what kind of
Financing goes into something like this. As we discussed, the local model train club, here, since
1950, is more like an assemblage of thirty different ideas going off in different directions. Many
of them less than ideal, such as underground interchanges and antique block wiring that has
shorted out several locomotives. The place is a Tower of Babel of model rail.
We all complain about how it should be different, most of us, at least, but somehow it still keeps
going on for 75 years, through embezzlement (once), small hands (often), and general bickering.
I just can't help but wonder how something as complex and vast as Hicksville keeps it together.
That's me narrating, and my eldest daughter and her pal. The Hispanic gentleman is the late "Moose"
Yarbrough, a professional model railroader who's clients spanned Europe and included Rod Steward.
He was a great guy and gave so much of himself to the Club, that much is for sure.
