"I am really so happy with it," she says...
...side of the road, a mirage looms: 10.5 acres of colorful, pint-size railroad trains chugging out of a replica 1920s station house, snaking through tunnels, over bridges, past waterfalls and man-made mountains. Here live Steve Flanders and his accommodating wife Susan, who over eight years watched her husband turn their farm--and her carefully tended flower beds--into a model-railroad park...
