Model Trains

March 2nd, 2012

For many years Dick Rex was a dedicated engineer working for Public Broadcasting Atlanta. Through our association with Dick we found out about one of his favorite past times, model trains. He not only loves the hobby, but builds many of the trains himself. He says there’s much to know and learn about model trains and he encourages people to go to the Piedmont Division of the National Model Rail Road Association for more information.
