“Mary”

I have seen a lot of AI generated "feel good" posts. This isn't one of them! We are real humans just trying to find a home for my dad's train room which is simply world class. He has been carefully constructing buildings (each individually selected and shipped from Germany) since I was a kid and actually put it all together only about 5 or 6 years ago. There's a wedding and a funeral, a beer garden, old school McDonald's, and he even put an airstream at a campsite for his dear old daughter. I only recently realized on a trip to Germany with him that the gardens along the tracks are faithful reproductions of what you see on the train from Munich to Germany. My mom passed away and he is 80, so he's moving to a smaller place. The craftsmanship is next level and only a few children– just my kids, my nieces and nephews have ever seen it. My friend, who painted a number of murals for our local children's museum, stepped in to finish painting the landscape when my mom got sick. We aren't trying to sell it– just trying to find it a good home. I simply can't imagine throwing it away. The local children's museum loves it but doesn't have space. We are hoping for a miracle– to find a space for all he has done. Anyway– DMs open HMU if fate is on both of our sides. TYIA @NtlChildMuseum @childrensmuseu2 @cmorva @vmtroanoke @smv_rva
