That must have been some experience!

Gee, I wish I had the chance to do that, but it is just a little too far away from my place.

Don't know how much I would enjoy touring the offices,I would really enjoy a tour of the MR&T.

Did you get to see the layout?

Of course I f I'd and it is huge. I Recognized.a lot of the projects and they have signs explaining the others. I saw The Red Oak Layout, The Viriginian, The Beer Line and Bay Junction.  They also showed me The Studio where codys office is shot and the Live webcam.  

I also saw some some of the CTT projects as well as some artifacts of Al Kalmbach and the last surviving locomotive from The Gore & Defeatid.  All and all a worth while stop, if your in the area.  Plan about and hour and be sure to call in advance so they know you are coming.

If you go to Kalmbach for a visit keep in mind that a pretty good hobby shop, Hiawatha Hobbies, is nearby.

And a popular trainwatching spot, Dupainville, is also a short drive away.  You could make a day of it.

I probably will do all that next time but I was on a tight schedule and only really had time to do Kalmbach.  However because I have family here I usually get here once twice or 3 times a year.
