Show Notes
What is LARP, and what does it have to do with rail preservation? Claus Raasted, an experienced organizer of Live Action Role Playing (LARP) events, discusses what it is and how it "places you inside a movie". He shares the history of the Fairweather Manor event which created a Downton Abbey-like world for a weekend for its participants, and how this could be applied to railroad history.
Question of the Day
