Restore Model Trains at the EggShop
Donation protected
When my boys were little we often went to the Montclair Eggshop where they watched intently as the BART and Amtrak model trains ran back and worth across the wall behind the kitchen. Those model trains are no longer working and this campaign is to restore the trains for the next generation of kids. My hope is that kids will look up from their cell phones and tablets to marvel at the trains again.
The funds will be used to replace the trains, power supplies and auto-reverse sensors. I will provide all installation services for free.
The estimated costs from the Concord Model Train shop are as follows.
$600 for a locomotive and a set of train cars ( G-scale )
$80 for a train transformer with analog throttle
$150 for the sensors, auto-reverse unit, wires.
x 2 train track systems
=$1660
Here is what the existing equipment looks like. It is quite old.
Lead BART train
Current Power Transformer
Current track use an old electronic reed switch to change the trains direction.
