Heartbreaking Tragedy at a VTA Facility!

My thoughts…

It is known to a few that model railroading is a hobby that I have been involved in since I was in my single digits. Railfanning is the other. hobby My experience through those years to the present have shown me that it is more than just building models building and adding scenery or just running trains on a layout. It’s about creating the most realistic scene possible, from everyday life.

When real world incidents happen like the incident in San Jose, it actually hit affected me deeply. I really feel it because of my journey through life when I meet actual people who inspired me and my efforts in both hobby.

My heart goes out to all the friends and family oh the victims. This is truly heartbreaking.
