Today was quite an interesting day, besides it being cold, blustery and slightly snowy. Had a run out in the Detroit area, moreso north of it in Clinton Twp, and where I picked up at was only 3 miles from the good ol’ headquarters of Lionel so I decided to make a small detour to there before I had to head back to the west side of the state.
Unfortunately the visitor’s center wasn’t open until 1:30pm and I wasn’t able to stay that long so I took a few pics of the building and the sign out front. This is the first time in my life that I have been able to see the place of all places in model trains (other than MTH which is in MD) live and in person. So without delay, here are a few pics of the Big L:
I should have taken a pic of the whole building on the outside, but unfortunately by the time I thought of it I was already back on the highway…oh well maybe next time, and this time I hope to be able to visit the visitors center as well. At least now when I see the ‘Chesterfield, MI’ on the back of the Lionel boxes we purchase from the hobby shops, at least now I can finally say I was there!
