#1 Colorado Model Railroad Museum in Greeley, Colorado

January 19, 2018 

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
