[modeleng] Re: Sacramento Railway Museum

We 'Murricans also have a lot of very nice equipment, including a UP Big Boy 
at the St. Louis Museum of Transport.  Acres of locomotives, but 
unfortunately they don't have the shekels to cover it all over so a big lot 
of stuff sits out in the open.  There is a three cylinder 0-8-0 Switcher 
with Gresley (sp?)valve gear.  Oldest loco (I think)is an 1855 William Mason 
4-4-0 American under a shed roof. Very nice lot of stuff to look at so plan 
to spend a whole day.

I went to it a few years ago, and was very disappointed. Seemed to be
 aimed very much at schoolkids and 'interpratation' as the buzz word is.
 I'd count it as the worst railway museum I've found in the US. Much better
 are the B&O in Baltimore, the PRR in Strasbourg and even the Railroad
 Historical Associiation SE chapter in Duluth, Ga. The San Diego County
 isn't too bad but is somewhat inaccessible - they say it's at Forest Gate
 Road on SR94. They DON'T tell you that's 55 miles fromSan Diego!
