Any Model Railroad Fans?

My dad was into HO trains and had a rather large layout in the basement. He scratch built all the buildings and cars. As he got older (and mom needed more basement space) he donated all his stuff to the local assisted living home for seniors. There were about 6 guys there that had combined their layouts. My dad retained vistation rights and went up there 2 or 3 nights a week.
His layout was know as the Gravelswitch And Pacific Railroad.
As he was getting ready to make the 2 mile trip he would hitch his pants up and announce that he was going to the old folks home! He was older than any of them at 89.
If you are thinking about giving the set-up away, try to find a model railroad club that could enjoy it.
