Springfield has its share of odd sights along the road. You might bump into an old, damaged green elephant advertising a defunct record store, a pink elephant with a giant martini, or even a 30-foot tall statue of young Abe Lincoln at the state fair grounds.

I was lucky enough to be invited to a private railway in the Midlands. It was also a great opportunity to catch up with Lawrie so we met at the railway. The owner foolishly said, what would you like to see... We compromised on everything but kick us out when we become a pain.

What a fabulous atmosphere - the locos are well-cared for but still have that industrial feel and they have a real job to do - horsefeed and supplies in: by-products out. As you can see there are a variety of realistic trains available to use and not a passenger carriage or steam loco to be seen. It took me right back to my visits to German Peatworks, especially with the Diema in the weeds.

The Illinois Governor's Mansion is the official residence of the governor of Illinois. It is located in the state capital, Springfield, Illinois. The Italianate-style Mansion was designed by Chicago architect John M. Van Osdel with a modified 'H' shaped configuration with a long central section, and the front and back on the sides of the 'H'. The 16-room manor was completed in 1855 and was first occupied by governor Joel Matteson, who held the official grand opening on January 10, 1856. It is one of the oldest historic residences in the state of Illinois and one of the three oldest continuously occupied governor's mansions in the United States. In 1898 alterations to the exterior added neoclassical elements. In 1972, the Illinois Governor's Mansion Association was founded as a charitable corporation to assist in the maintenance and programming at the mansion. The Mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
