idd Inllil' Nhere can you watch a forty car train rss breathtaking gorges, climb huge turesque mountains, meander bugh vast unspoiled woodlands, and iver a cargo of coal and wood to a iving industrial town? Where can you ch a seven car passenger train ed through six hidden tunnels as it tens its way between towns to stay a strictly watched time table? Where n you experience the thrill derived .m these two exciting events plus rate two or three other trains at the e time and still remain within the mfort of a suburban home? The swer is found at the home of Bob and hn Puchner, students of Brookfield lntral. The empire, which sprawls across air basement, was built by older pther, Joe Puchner, with help from lb, a junior, and John, a senior. It is a ,atively expensive hobby, but the wards are immeasurable as it pro- les for hours of excitement, fun, and a release of tension that builds up ring a week of tedious school work. iilt from wood, wire, and hydrocal ment mixture, the layout features two ajor mountain ranges, three main- es, an industrial center, a rural town, farm area, and a coal-mining area. The rolling stock includes eight func- tioning engines, seven passenger cars, and fifty-one freight cars. Among the freight cars is a fully functioning crane car that frequently does odd jobs around the layout, like pulling derailed cars back on the track or lifting crates, drums, and barrels from the bottom of a gorge where they have fallen due to high winds. One extraordinary feature of the pike is nighttime operation. Tiny lights spar- kle through the windows of the homes, shops and factories across the tranquil, nighttime layout. Along with this, lights in the engines and passenger cars make for an impressive spectacle when the lights are turned off. The minute detailing is fantastically precise, the farm has eight cows, seven goats, and two pigs, all which are for- ever seen eating from the food trough. The intricate farm animals were hand- painted by the Puchners and stand approximately three millimeters tall. Two handmade bridges span the indus- trial valley and cross one under another to create two levels of track. Enjoyment comes not only from build- ing the trains, but from building the lay- out. John explains, The pike is never quite done, we will always be adding to it, and that is the most fun. William B. Croft Kevin J. Cronin Alene M. Czeszynski Paul M. Dadlez James M. Dagelen Naomi L.
