Trains --
As a hobby, model trains are fun and instill patience and perseverance into ones life.
In my collection of power and rolling stock, I'm partial to the Burlington Northern Route before it was Burlington Northern Santa Fe. Even the old Burlington Route is interesting.
We spent 20 plus years in the Chicago area and as a part of the daily routine you can't go anywhere without getting stopped by a train. I joined the Illinois Railway Museum several years ago and even with our return to Massachusetts I maintain a membership. A lot of history is available for the looking, watching and riding. The museum is considered a living museum because most of the working displays and refurbished equipment are sent out on the track for the visitors to ride and experience a little bit of what it was like to travel back in the heyday of the passenger train.
Visit: http://www.irm.org/ and see what is available there.

The picture is of the trolley that circles the museum grounds. It provides a nice ride for the visitors between the various exhibits.
