Super Model sets sights on Super Model Trains. Tyra Banks and her crew visited the Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museum as they scouted locations for her latest reality television project, America's Next Top Model Train. Banks and her crew were impressed with the museum. Banks, former super model, is also a super model train buff, whose layouts have appeared in both Sports Illustrated and Model Railroader. "She seems really into larger-scale model trains," explain Daft Myerson, of the museum's board. "More of a HO than anything else." Rail geeks were lined up outside of the entrance to the railroad museum hoping to show off their mad model railroading skills and get a glimpse of a real woman. "I've seen pictures, but I haven't ever talked to an actual woman," said Brent Fweeb, one of the model train hopefuls, "I suppose it's a lot like using a ham radio." Fweeb, who sports his signature hot pink pocket protector, brought his entire Horseshoe Curve Display to the auditions, drawing some envious glares from the other contestants. Fween is the odds-on favorite to take America's Next Top Model Train honors and, according to several fellow contestants, he knows it. "It's a matter of owning the space," Fweeb explained. "When I'm on the runway I'm fierce! You better know it."
