点评:We were somewhat reluctant regarding our expectations, but were very pleased with the day’s activities once arriving. We timed this visit perfectly arriving on June 17, 2025. We were thinking this was going to be a railway museum, which of course it is, but really it is more a railroad hobbyist’s playground where train enthusiasts bring their trains to play on the 2200 acres of land with over 34 miles of miniature railroad track. I think the size of the trains are 1/7th scale, much larger than the train sets we played with as kids, large enough to rid on. Call it toys for big boys and girls.
Back to timing this perfectly. Every 3 years train hobbyists from all over the world converge on this playground. This year there will be trains from all over the USA and 6 countries from as far away as Australia and Germany. Next week the week of June 22nd 2025 will kick off a week long affair. These trains are steam locomotives, electric and gas powered. I wish I had the time to stay another week.
翻译:我们原本对预期有些犹豫,但抵达后对当天的活动非常满意。我们把时间安排得恰到好处,在2025年6月17日到达。我们原本以为这里会是一座铁路博物馆,当然也的确如此,但实际上它更像是一个铁路爱好者的游乐场,火车爱好者们可以带着他们的火车在2200英亩的土地上玩耍,这里有超过34英里的微型铁路轨道。我认为火车的尺寸是七分之一,比我们小时候玩的火车模型大得多,大到可以乘坐。这可以说是大男孩和女孩的玩具了。
回到时间安排上,每三年,来自世界各地的火车爱好者都会聚集在这个游乐场。今年将有来自美国各地以及来自澳大利亚和德国等6个国家的火车。下周,也就是2025年6月22日那一周,将开启为期一周的活动。这些火车是蒸汽机车,由电力和燃气驱动。我希望我有时间再呆一个星期。
