Well Trained Men Share Aiken Train Rooms And Passions
Philip Howell and Ken Lake cultivate separate train worlds in their Aiken homes. Howell runs three trains in a kitchen-adjacent room featuring vintage postwar engines and notes he fell back into the hobby after a flea market reawakening. Lake fills an 8 by 24 foot G scale space, recalling childhood dreams of a dedicated room to run trains, as both celebrate decades of collecting and building their own miniature worlds.
