Friends had told us about this railway park in Scottsdale, so we went there on December 6 to have a look. If anyone is a railroad buff - this is the place -especially if you have children with you on the visit. They have an old engine and a pullman car that FDR used to travel the country when he was campaigning. They also have a small railway the you can sit on and traverse the park.
We thought this fellow looked like Jack's brother Arnold!
It was in this drawing room of the "Roald Amundsen" pullman car that FDR met with Sir William Lyon Mackensize King, Prime Minister of Canada and signed the treaty that created the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Cargo?
There is also a large new building with many tracks of model railroads of all gauges. It was fascinating to watch the different trains going around and across each other. Scenery had been recreated to resemble small towns, large metropolises .......
and even Thomas the Train and Sir Topham Hatt!!
