Charles Fife of Houston, a Vietnam Navy veteran, had mentioned to his hospice social worker that his dream was to build a G-scale railroad in his front yard. Fife’s wife of 50 years, Virginia, was on board, too. So, the Washington Gateway Hospice team formulated a plan to fulfill his wish. Dr. Mark Mamros, a Gateway Hospice medical director and train enthusiast who co-founded the Pittsburgh Garden Railway Society in 1994 and served as first vice president, enlisted the help of Kashmir Moncheck, an Eagle Scout from Troop 1313, who is working on his railroading badge. The two assembled the large track last week, and Fife couldn’t stop admiring it. There are two trains, one of which has a Heinz box car that Fife said was the start of his own G-scale collection. Many joined in the festivities, including the Visiting Angel team that helps provide care for Chuck. Also pictured are Mamros and Virginia Fife.
