the cab visit of the cab ahead and chewed the fat with the docent in the cab who actually fired them in his younger days. i was surprised that the model train area on the mezzanine was just display cases of trains and the brio. i volunteer at our local Cotton Belt Depot Museum here in Tyler Tx and our experience is at folks are bored quickly at the trains in cases ( we have a large pre and post war Lionel collection) but thoroughly mesmorized by trains running. We are in the process of building a new layout as we have have worn out the old one. Of course an operating layout requires maintenance and monitoring which can be a deterrent.

But with all of the layouts around SFO would have thought that there would have been one there also. Thought that there was some 7.5" gauge stuff also as a fellow on TO donated his engine and some cars to it.
