Warthers Trains

[Hillbilly]

Anyone ever been to the Warthers train museum in Ohio?

I have. It is in New Philadelphia/Dover. To me it is an extremely remarkable little museum. The detail of the trains is amazing. Werther was an extroardinay craftsman/artist. The family company still makes knives -which was the original craft that Mr. Werther practiced. I bought one for my wife & will get here a kitchen set for Xmas. Every knife comes with lifetime sharpening.

Hillbilly--We've been there several times, and use Warther knives daily (John's wife will be pleased!). For those who have no idea what we're talking about, Mooney Warther was a genius carver who made such things as perfect scale models of Lincoln's funeral car--without ever taking a measurement. We're not talking toy trains here, as a visit to Warther's website shows. http://www.warthers.com
