A noted Shakespeare expert, Dr. Nick Knight also knows model trains. The retired UMR professor has a bunch of them in a barn, and he can run 14 engines at a time. There are more than 100 locomotive models in his collection. He also has 5,000 toy soldiers and 26 battlefields, but that's another story.
Knight has been instrumental in putting together an exhibit, "Trains: Past, Present and Future," which opens this weekend in Clayton. The exhibit features models, paintings, photographs and more. The opening from 1-3 p.m. Sunday is free (The Artists Guild, Two Oak Knoll Park, Clayton).
