Hi, everyone.-
Anyone know of any Philantropists/Foundations/Donors to help w/the costs
of a Building for a Model Railroad Museum in PA. or NJ…???
Getting desperate as I’ve been searching since 1999 w/ the cost of my Home which
is only $225K. Apparently is not enough. The Buildings that I can afford all by myself
were useless, too small and in bad locations. I missed out of some buildings because
I could not afford them. However, once I get a Building- Future Members will
help w/ any future financial problems ( like cost of Wood & upkeep)). The only things I could not save was the wood & I even saved a bit of that too.
I have enough Equipment/Material/Rolling Stock in ‘N’, ‘HO’ & Atlas 2 rail to
open a Model RR Museum/Hobby/Gift Shop. I plan To have Clinics to get
Modelers back to Scratchbuilding.
I’m going on 77 & the museum project should have already been done, so now it’s
getting to be a fight for time as I’d like to finish (in 5 years) before my future demise.
Ideas, Suggestions wellcomed.

PS. When I mentioned the 3 Scales- I mean 3 different operating LAYOUTS.
Already have the plans in ‘N’. Also I’ve been saving odds & ends including a few
prototype items since 1949 to show/display…
