Cyberville by Mark Newell Douglas

An old sailor visits his shipmate in Sutter Village, California, to renew acquaintance. He is charmed by the setting and decides to settle down near his friends. His all time great hobby is model trains, which he has collected many over his 38 years in the Navy. Spotting a decrepit 3-story building, he decides to buy it and form a Model Train Shop. The story becomes involved in several twists and jerky starts and stops. Essentially, Cyberville is a comedy having no real life or characters involved. Was a lot of fun writing it.
