Day #3 at the B@O Railroad Station. There was so much to share and I just enjoy the railroad.


Okay if you look at the blog before you will see the large barn door on the inside. That was the Lego's Train pictures. 



This is the turn table they used to turn the train around and send it back the way it came. 


In here they have set up a HO Scale train set. I know the pictures are blurry but I thought at the time they looked good? Back when this building was being used, it was the freight building. They would store things in here and load them on the train. Out front there was a loading area for wagon to pull up and unload their things and drive off with out much troubles. 



I see here there are seven (7) sizes for model trains. I just looked it up on Goggle and only found six (6) G/O/S/HO/N/Z
Now as I was much younger, my dad gave me a Lionel O Scale Train for Christmas. I might have been 5 or so? 
As I grew up I had HO scale and then in the 80's I had a N Scale set up. 








I guess these are the different HO Scale trains that they have used on this track. Talking about track. They cal track by the gauge. It is the size of the track that you use to ride your train on. Like O Gauge for O Scale. 




This Caboose was just one of the many they used in the olden days. This way there was always some on the tail of the train to keep their eye on the end. Plus there was a kitchen inside to cook for the crew. Plus they had a large red light on the end of it. This way you knew the end of the train has gone by. Or even if there was another train following behind it, could see it. I guess it is like tail lights on a car? 


Well folks I guess by now I have shown you this place, was my favor to go visit, as I was staying here.
