Railfanning in PA

I'm doing the same thing in a couple weeks (being dropped off by the wife), so maybe you can help me out. How long would you say it takes to go through the museum in a non-hurried but not incredibly through manner (i.e. looking at everything but not necessarily reading every word on every sign)? I also signed myself up for the Strasburg RR shop tour.

Last time I went, spent two to three hours at the Museum and another hour and a half poking around Strasburg Railroad (did not ride the train during that particular visit). 

I spent the whole day at the Museum, at the Strasburg Railroad, and at TCA headquarters for my 21st birthday last year. Can't wait to go again!

Boilermaker1,

I spent about an hour and a half at the museum. I was able to walk around and get all the pictures I did, but in order to read all the signs, etc. you need at least 3 hours. I did the Choo-Choo Barn and Toy Train Museum last year. If you plan on doing them all you need at least the whole day.

Good Evening Bill,

I enjoyed looking at your pictures of your layout. One of your pictures jumped out at me.The one with your purple MTH chair.  Also, in this picture there was a MTH dark red building that got my attention. 

Jim,

Nice hearing from you. Too bad that train shop is no longer in business.... Something about "Gone Fishing".  

I hope you are enjoying your retirement.

The Strasburg RR is a real class act. On one visit, Jan and I got on the train, on a warm sunny day in June,  with a picnic lunch, our cameras, and reading material. We got off at groff's Grove, enjoyed our lunch and relaxed in the shade, watching the trains go by, the horse-drawn action in the fields, and reading. It was like a peaceful Sunday afternoon in days gone by. Fantastic!

Been there many times. Hope to go back many times. Once took two bus loads of junior high kids there. That was nerve wracking.....

Oh man.... Combat pay!
