I have for a long time thought model trains were pretty neat
and I have thought about building my own, but I haven't ever done it because it
seems like too much work for me. However
I enjoy looking at the trains and so letting someone else do all the hard work
seems like a good idea to me.
I've heard about this place record a while now and I saw
Facebook Post about an event for extreme trains so we planned a day trip to
Greeley. Starting with a Good Times for lunch and then on to the museum. The admission price was normally $10 a person,
but when we arrived they said the upper part where you can look down at the
trains was not wheelchair accessible so my admission was free. In the lower
area I could get up closer, but most of it was too high and hard for me to see.
What I could see of the scenery was
excellent including an area with a forest fire with actual smoke, mountains,
rivers and cities and I enjoyed watching the trains go by and in a few areas I
found that I could see them fairly well.
The extreme trains part turned out to
just be really long model trains which is still kind a neat, but almost a bit
of a letdown as was not being able to see everything.
The Colorado Model Railroad Museum was a fun place to visit
to see all the long trains and smaller ones and the wonderful well done scenery,
but also quite a bit disappointing at
the same time because I couldn't see all of it
