From time to time, the officers of Potomac Division receive a request
for assistance in disposing of someone’s model railroad. The request
typically comes from a survivor or executor who doesn’t know much about
our hobby and who has many other things on his or her mind at the time.
PD maintains a report "Estate Planning for Model Railroaders" that
addresses all related issues in depth. This report includes narratives,
under the heading Voice of Experience, that describe real-life
experiences in order share a wide range of situations and experiences.
It also applies to model railroaders who are uninterested or unable to
continue enjoying the hobby.
