Hi I have been a Model RR since 1988 and Model in (N) scale I work in the FIRE /EMS Field, and the other day I was reading a EMS Magazine (EMS Magizine Auq.2004 Vol. 33#8 PGs 71-73 Writen by Gary Wiemokly) Any way the artical was about a guy "Don Moore" who uses model RR layout for use with Police, Fire, EMS and other emergency workers to do a table top drill with them And (gee you thought you were haveing fun when you parked a car on one of your crossings and had a train hit it) now just think of the fun you or your model RR club would have if you were to have your fire dept. police, Ambulance and rescue members over and lets say it was a fuel truck that was hit at the crossing by the train and next to the crossing is a school with kids. now you get to watch the emergency service workers push your fire, EMS,Rescue, & Police units to the crossing and you add more to the drill maybe it's on fire the wind is blowing the fire and fumes towards the school whath them work through the drill. It is a big help when you have models to see and use. So next time you derail a train, crash into a car at a grade crossing, on your layout think of us that are in the emergency service work and what would we do to save the day. This can be lots of fun for you and an A+ way for your emergency service workers to work through a drill! what worked what needs to be worked on? for more inf. on this go to www.emsmagazine.com email emseditor@aol.com for those of you like me that love are trains and working as a emergency service worker have fun and try this some time God Bless!!!
