Model Trains For Charity BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
n Saturdays, Dec. 3, 10 and 17, and Sundays, Dec. 4, 11 and 18, from 1 to 4 p.m., local model train enthusiast Al Strausner and his grandson Matthew Palmeri will set up a model display at West Willow
LSA
O
United Methodist Church, 118 West Willow Road, Willow Street. Strausner and Palmeri will also collect monetary donations and nonperishable food donations for local food banks. The displays will be 6 by 20 feet in size and include extensions that are 8 by 10 feet. Each set contains
multiple intricate models of structures and train cars, made to scale as replicas of their real-life counter parts. Palmeri, now age 14, took an interest in his grandfather’s model collection around six years ago, and Strausner himself began collecting models when he was around 6 years old. “My aunt and uncle used to get me a new Plasticville model building for every holiday and birthday,” Strausner said. “They got me quite a few authentic ones from the ’50s, which I still have.” Strausner remained an avid collector through his teen years but stopped collecting once he went off to college and got married. He and his wife had a son, William, who took an interest in the models at an early age, prompting Strausner to dive back into old hobby around 25 years ago. His current collection numbers over 300 units.
Al Strausner has been collecting model sets since he was a child.
