Descriptions of the construction progress of my new Florida model railroad featuring the line from Lakeland to Punta Gorda. Originally a journal of RV trips throughout the United States and Canada with Patti and Bob. Also photo documentation of the progress on my Maryland model railroad, the Allegheny and Shenandoah, a mythical class one line connecting Strasburg VA. with Elkins WV.

Hearst Castle
The Castle is a wonderful estate complete with an airstrip long enough for a DC3. The kitchen is huge so is the wine cellar. In the Prohibition era the alcohol was stored in safe like rooms to keep them away from the T men. The guest library was stocked with 4600 new books and had a special sound dampening ceiling. Hearst has his own hydro electric plant and had more bathrooms than bedrooms all equipped with showers, flush toilets and sinks at a time when all of the locals were still using outhouses and kerosene lamps..
