RailfanInfo Update

Well March has gone by in a hurry! I've been meaning to get back here and post a couple of new videos taken earlier in the month but there hasn't been time so far.

One of the things I've been working on in addition to the update to RailfanInfo.com is a new blog for the IRM Passenger Car Department. It's been fun to setup the new blog and make some plans on what should be there to enhance the museum experience. But it's also been time consuming.

What I want to tell you about in this post in particular is the new page at RailfanInfo.com that asks you for advice. I want to add value to the site based on what you want to find there. I have my own interests in railroad collectibles, excursions, museums and historic places around the world but what is it that you want to find?

I'll be back soon with those new videos. We visited the Mitchell Park Domes to see their annual model train layout. Then we made a short stop at the Burnham Yards in Milwaukee to film a bit of switching action. And we visited Train Time at Milwaukee School of Engineering where there were many vendors, displays, and the layout created by students at MSOE.

Chuck and I are looking forward to warmer and less white weather soon. We're getting antsy to get back to the Illinois Railway Museum and get some work done there.
