Hey guys I have a question, is the milk car 65 back at WW&F for winter storage or is it not there this year?

We have in the next town to me an institution called the Wenham Museum (Wenham, Mass.) It has an entire basement filled with various model railroads which kids can run by pushing a button. All scales are represented, from G to Z. All of this was put together in the 1970s by a group of dedicated men who were into model railroading. Most of them volunteered their time. Only a couple were part time paid personnel. There were about a dozen in all. Guess how many are active today? 3 or 4, and they are all in their 80's with various health issues. All the rest have either died or are in nursing homes. No younger people have been found to replace them. First, because the entire railroading hobby is aging, and second, because those younger men with an interest, don't have the time to devote to the museum.
