Olivia,

Talk to the curator at the California State Railroad Museum in
Sacramento, they openned an amazing exhibition on model trains last
year. Bruce Stinney was the curator who organized the exhibit but he
has moved on to another postion with the CA State Parks.

I did conservation treatments on some of the trains in that exhibit
and also did another major model train exhibition of the Carsten
collection at the Abbey Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum at
Colonial Williamsburg back in 1999.

Cheers!
Dave
