We’re transitioning back to the operations department, and this month want to introduce one of our train operators: Gianni. Gianni first joined us last year, after having come to visit us to get reference photos for a personal project to make a 3D model of North Shore car 715. Our trainmaster noted his interest and encouraged him to volunteer, and he has been enjoying come out to operate trains and show to them to the public ever since.
Outside of the museum, Gianni is currently a student pursuing a degree in web development to allow him to work in that field. In addition, he does a lot of 3D modeling, especially trains and other railroad equipment. He has even modeled several cars from our own collection, including the aforementioned car 715.
Gianni really appreciates the small nature of our museum compared to the much larger volume of volunteers and equipment that can be found at a lot of others, helping keep us down to earth and close to the community. Additionally, the smaller group helps foster a tight-knit community among our volunteers.
