点评:Yes, the main attraction are the model trains but it is Philip's presentation that we will go back for on our next visit to Salt Spring. He gives a clear and complete explanation of the history of steam trains including a model of the 1st successful engine. The outdoor portion of the model train runs around large cedar trees on a steep hillside while the main attraction is in an adjacent building. More history of an English village is displayed in various model homes and one pub over 100's of years. Phillip estimates that he has 40 model locomotives of which he probably operated 10 of during our visit. Phillip is one part stand up comedian, one part history professor and one part model train fanatic which translates into a never boring moment during the 45 minutes of our stay. One member of our party of 5 took on the part of the locomotive "driver" and under Philip's direction successfully "shunned" a train. We may forget many parts of our visit to the Island but we won't forget our visit with Phillip!
翻译:是的,主要的景点是模型火车,但我们下次来盐泉岛时一定会再去听菲利普的演示。他对蒸汽火车的历史进行了清晰完整的讲解,包括第一台成功运行的火车头模型。模型火车的室外部分绕着陡峭山坡上的高大雪松树行驶,而主要景点则在相邻的一栋建筑内。各种模型房屋和一家拥有数百年历史的酒吧展示了英国村庄的更多历史。菲利普估计他有40辆模型火车头,在我们参观期间,他可能操作了其中的10辆。菲利普既是脱口秀喜剧演员,又是历史教授,还是模型火车的狂热爱好者,这使得我们45分钟的旅程永远不会感到无聊。我们一行五人中的一位扮演了火车头“司机”,在菲利普的指导下成功“躲避”了一列火车。我们可能会忘记这次岛上之旅的许多精彩瞬间,但我们永远不会忘记与菲利普的会面!
