Jan 29, Science Projects

Wed, 29 Jan 2025 08:19:01 -0500

Even though we are primarily a Model Railroad Museum, we are also a STEM Education Center which may involve additional interesting science projects. We happened to find a few old Erector Sets made by A.J.Gilbert, the same company who made the American Flyer train sets. We also had a small robot show up in our Museum and if you look close enough in the picture, you can see that he is working on a fixing an N scale locomotive for one of our layouts. So you can see, volunteers come in all shapes and sizes. If you want to volunteer, don't be shy. Come on in.
By the way, can you think of a name for our new robot? Let us know during the month of February. We'll vote on the best name. There might be a prize in it for you!
