Model railroads fun to watch.
Everyone loves to see a freight train creeping through a
mountain tunnel and across a bridge. But trains are
also very educational. There is a lot of stuff
involved in getting a freight car from one location to

are major educational opportunities hidden in those
freight trains such as electrical, physics, mechanical,
and environmental, to name a few.
