Charlemagne's Kingdom in Helen, GA
My visit to Charlemagne’s Kingdom, an Alpine Model Railroad Museum in the Georgia Mountains, features HO Scale German Model Railroads, in a 50 foot exhibit that depicts the various terrain and architecture of Germany. As an example of Alpine art it is a unique combination of imagination and craftsmanship, the product of the talents of Willi and Judi Lindhorst. Charlemagne refers principally to the German lands which were ruled by the Frankish King in the 700s. This exhibit is really a marvelous Alpine Model Railroad depicting a modern Germany from “The North sea to the Alps.” It is truly a work of art and is the result of Willi’s love of his homeland, its people, trains, architecture, industry, customs and culture. (Not only that, but Willi can trace himself as a lineal descendant of Charlemagne!)

Charlemagne's Kingdom - Germany from the North Sea to the Alps
A model train exhibit displaying noteworthy landmarks from the north to the south of Germany (My favorite being the detailed model of Schloss Neuschwanstein nestled in the model of the alps). It really showcases a massive amount of detail on one of the larger scales you'll ever see for a model train setup, and is quite a sight to behold. Thanks for checking it out.

Open House at Tri Town Area Historical Society Museum
On December 14, 2019 I visited the Tri Town Area Historical Society Museum in Dawson, Pennsylvania. The museum houses many different types of artifacts from the area,especially from the late 19th century and early 20th century ( the coal and coke era of my area). At the time the railroads were essential in moving not only coal and coke, but also freight and passengers in and out of the area. The museum also houses Sam Powell's Pine Creek Valley RR (His model railroad depicting this area).The S scale layout was donated to the museum in 2016 and with the cooperation of the Pittsburgh S Gaugers Club, was moved from Gaithersburg,Md to Dawson,Pa. The Dawson Boro is located on the northern bank of the Youghiogheny River southeast of Pittsburgh Pa. in the heart of the region modeled on the layout. For more infromation about the Tri Town Area Historical Society and touring infromation contct Nicole Anderson at 724-529-1026 i would like to thank all the volenteers at Tri Town Area Historical Society for their hard work and dedication to preserving the area's history and making readily available to the public.

Hi, CORVAIRWILD here. A little about me and what I do: First, I love my wife of many years, she is a wonderful lady. I call her Mrs CW. I can never go anywhere without her & my Dog Muggs! He's cool. You should have a dog like him too. Next, I am a landlord, NO, not a slumlord who does section 8 apartment rentals, but I keep my properties up like they were my own...they are my own! Like I live there. I have lots of apartment buildings, a farm out in the country and a house here and there. I am always doing something, driving rehabbing, you name it! I want to include you, so I bring my camera! EVERYWHERE! Haha.
ENJOY.
Did I mention I am a car enthusiast! I can't get enough Covairs and Vintage Chevy and GMC trucks. They have great reliability...all of em' the best vehicle on the road ever is a Corvair Spider Turbo. Back to the trucks, I love the diesel trucks and suburbans, Blazers too. That's what I plow snow with. A fisher snow plow. I'm a busy guy, but I make time for you. Thanks! CW
