Its very interesting as to what certain people have to say,since I had posted this topic.My condolenses go out to those that have already lost loved ones. What is unbeleiveable is yes, there are people that dont know what to do with the train equipment,and yes,sadly it does get disposed of. In some cases a woman who runs a hobby shop with her husband had told me that ,they get calls from people, that just dont know what to do with the stuff,or they will give it ot the Salvation Army,then they in turn will call the hobbyshop and give it to them to sell.Some will even take it to an antique dealer and let them sell the trains. As for what I had stated about donating books to a local library,I found out,that the library has a very stiff policy of what they want in their collections,and at 90% of the time, the books that you would give them,would go directly into the annual book sale.To me, you figure a library would like to have some books that they cant afford,though that is not the case and it is a dirty shame. Agian I'm glad that I posted this topic,as it is something that we all as model railroaders should be thinking about,'cause you never know what may happen tomorrow.[sigh]
