Thanks for the PSA ... Great idea Peter!! A great way to spread the word about our wonderful hobby!
A former family doctor of mine ( now deceased ), I learned after some years, that he was a model railroader at heart when I brought a copy of O Gauge Railroading to an appointment. Until then I had no idea he was a train guy. He had actually had a OO scale layout at one time when he was practicing in the UK. He never had time to construct one upon coming to the US. He would actually go to a Hornby website and construct and run a virtual layout on that site. He and I had many wonderful conversations about model trains and I would occasionally would bring him a Model Railroader magazine, which he loved! He certainly had the train bug .... building a layout was just a matter of time.... unfortunately has passed away due to a freak accident. I know he would have been on board with train magazines in his office. As per your PSA ... I will take some extra mags when I go to my next doctor appointment. Thanks for the idea!
