 August is hot, and so are the savings at Appalachian Wireless, where all smartphones are 50% off. Even the 64, 128, and 256-gig models. Two-year agreement required. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless, an East Kentucky network company. For many, there is a fascination with railroading. For many others, there is a fascination with model railroading. And some make an artform out of it. That's what you'll find at the Lonesome Pond Model Railroad Club in Appalachia, Virginia in Wise County. The club's large, elaborate HO-scale layout takes up the basement of the Appalachia Culture of Arts building. And every year during Appalachia's Railroad Days Festival, the club is filled with visitors fascinated by the miniature world created by the club. We have 19 members. You can run several trains at one time in different directions. It's like the real railroad. We have over 3500 foot of track, two main lines, and over 5600 rolling stock cars. We are a freelance club, which means that we model whatever comes to our mind at the time, no certain area. Our fire number would be probably $250 an engine, and there's probably 100 over there. So what's that? 25,000? I mean, that's just a rough estimate. And the club is hoping more young people, like the club's youngest member, Brock Bissner, will take an interest. My first time down here was on the railroad days. That's probably five or six, and I just fell in love with it and came back every railroad days. Six years ago, my dad became a member, and I started coming up here every Tuesday and Thursday just the days they was open. It's a work in progress all the time. It'll never be finished. I think you'll never get one complete because something gets old to us. We rip it out and start something different. I mean, that's just part of modeling the railroad. The club is open Tuesday and Thursday evenings to the public, and anyone can apply for membership. You just have to bring an interest and appreciation for model trains.
