I think many of you know by now, that Linda and I just back home from our 
annual trip to Acadia National Park.

One of our goals was to do some bike riding in Machais, Maine, but however, we 
did not since it was a bit rainy.

We did ride that part of the Sunrise trail, last year, as it is 82 miles long.  
We came across a old blueberry warehouse with two permanent refrigerator train 
cars still attached.

We did ride the trail in Ellsworth, just wonderful, as we did ride on the 
Downeast Scenic RR and the Belfast and Moosehead Lake RR, both made up names.   
We rode in the copula of the caboose with working pot belly store on the 
Belfast ride.

However, on the way up on US 1, we saw this "garden" RR and did stop on the way 
back to Acadia to get pictures, as we met George Brace, the son of the man who 
made the miniature RR.

The first website is a newsletter about the passing of his Dad, who was a math 
professor at U of MD and made the live steam RR that runs in Baltimore.

the second website is about the RR.

The third is a video of the RR, as the building on the RR houses his pet sheep. 
 The bench says Beltsville for Beltsville MD.

The track is all hand made, as George told us once a delivery truck ran over 
it!!!

George wants me to email him about American Flyer, as he is not familiar with 
Lionel and AF, as he had real trains as a kid.
