Ah yes the Caboose Motel. ARE THEY STILL in business. wow. I am near 40 and slept there as a teenager. One thing was you could smell the coal, oil and wet steam as they "Booted" the steam engines for another day's tourist run in the morning. Bring funds too. If you get drawn into the model train store you may end up with alot of things. The PA Museum has the 4-4-0 that used to run on the Tourist line until the crown sheet went bad. That one was thier best engine. Try the Hello Dolly car, it may get a bit cold with the breeze so dress well. And dont wear clothes that will get cinders or stuff on em. They run a clean operation but there is some dirt here and there. Occasionally the Amish would put up a buggy for rides for a small fee I would allow them to take you for a ride. (Pun not intended) and dont worry about the vehicles, they usually hold behind the buggy until there is room to pass at a steady speed. At the PRR Muesum you probably can still get underneath a large steam engine. They have cleaned up and improved the place a great deal. And one more secret to Strasburg, they use the 0-6-0 or whichever is handy at the time to interchange out Modern Freight cars for a bit of revenue. I dont know what these are sold as to the people but generally a coach and caboose goes along with it. Eat well and bring plenty of fluids, this is usually a full day or two or three. The shops are there with all kinds of stuff, and I believe the old Ma and Pa coaches are in storage beyond the parking lot. These may have been moved or restored I dont know. The local area has plenty of good eats, good people and in general a family atmosphere.
