This wonderful combination is the result of fulfilled dreams met by Nate and Linda Brinkman. In 2001, after 30 years of marriage Nate Brinkman purchased a 1/8 scale Boston and Maine live steam engine. Soon after he convinced Linda to allow him to lay some 7 1/2 gauge track to be able to run his train at Home. Before she knew it, he had surrounded their little 1100 square foot home with 2300 feet of railroad track. Being a welder by trade, he began to build passenger cars and a transfer table to allow other people to run their engines on his track. Linda Brinkman quickly realized that this life long dream would only compliment her dream of owning a Bed and Breakfast. Creating the space required would mean a major renovation to their little home, so in 2002, Linda, a remodeling contractor, increased their 1,100 sq. ft. home to almost 3200 sq. ft. It was an overwhelming undertaking, but once it was completed the whole Greater Toledo area was taking it in. Several newspaper article have been written about their projects and even a television interview was done. Linda and Nate are enjoying every minute and would like to share what they have with you.
