Here is a view of the APRHF’s “Model Ambassador”

buy gabapentin online Motion is the attractor of many folks and nothing attracts people more than a model railroad with trains running. Kids and adults equally love it. It also provides for conversation and the exchange of information about the APRHF and some good “hobby talk” This layout is getting new to us rolling stock and buildings. The latest train for it is an Amtrak F40 and Amfleet cars. A new Santa Fe engine is also coming. These items and the buildings when built will stay with the railroad instead of using members trains and buildings. Below you will see a pictorial of our “Model Ambassador” while at a train show in Marceline in May of this year.
