Toy Trains in Architectural Digest
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, March 10, 2004 9:08 AM
If you see the April Issue laying around.....has John Travolta on the cover...check it out. There's a spread on a compound on the coast of Maine that just reeks of excess. To wit.... Toy trains.....Garden and O Gauge are in a dedicated train room. Freight trains zoom around a layout which replicates nearby towns....while vintage O Gauge Passenger Trains roll on tracks suspended from the ceiling. Another room is nothing but builders ship models while another room is nothing but toy soldiers. Vintage cars from the 40's and 50's are housed in a pristine 20,000 square foot barn. There's also a fully functional 50's diner on site. No names given in the article. Owners are not identified. A peak into how some folks live. John Harding

Unfortunately I don't frequent too many places that would have a copy of AD laying around, but this sounds interesting enough to run out to Barnes & Noble and pick up a copy, thanks.[8D]

Wow, that sounds impressive, and 20K feet too! (looking sadly down on his oval of track)
