Madrid Training Day: Nathan

So, I know not many people want to read about this one, but I figure I should write it for posterity. I spent a day in Madrid looking at trains, both full size and models.

I started the day at the Museo de Ferrocarriles in Madrid because they open and close early. The museum was well put together but kind of small. They had lots of interesting examples of locomotives powered by steam, diesel-electric, and electric technology. Some of the models were interesting, especially the American produced ones.

After the museum, I scouted out some hobby stores and went train hunting. I ended up with a RENFE diesel and a Von-Damm beer flat with trailer.

A successful day.
