MUSEUM RAILROADS KIDS BIG AND SMALL
david ellis
WE’re all kids at heart, and what kid – big or small – doesn’t like toy trains?
So next time you’re in the good ol’ U.S. of A, make it a must to take the family to San Diego in Southern California, don the train driver’s cap, and spend a captivating half day or more at what’s billed as “North America’s largest operating model railroad exhibit.”

CANADIAN INN SHOWS ITS SPIRIT
david ellis
