Taunton dad had too many model trains. So he opened a biz for all ages

Taunton resident Joseph Moreton had a problem: he had too many model trains. "We have a really small home" and have "four kiddos," his wife Gabrielle Moreton said. "He would always bring out the trains with the kids, and you would always have to take them and put them away because there's no space at all." "One day he's like, you know what? I need a space so we can keep them out all the time," she said. "Then he's like, even better yet, I would love for the public to come and enjoy it as well." That idea became Mass Model Railroad Club at 52 Main St. in downtown Taunton . The business houses Joseph's collection of model trains for the public to drive, and also allows people to bring their own trains in to drive on the tracks inside the facility. Joseph said that the business appeals to anyone "from 5 years old up until death, really." Here's what we know. Who is the new Miss Taunton? Meet Miss Taunton and Miss Taunton's Teen 2027.

National Grid offers Fall River homes free home battery systems

National Grid is launching a pilot program that will provide no-cost home battery systems to as many as 125 income-eligible households in the Fall River area. The BackupBattery+ program will offer systems with up to 45 kWh of battery storage, according to a community announcement. The batteries can provide at least four hours of backup power during outages while also helping reduce demand on the local electric grid when electricity use is high. National Grid is partnering with Haven Energy and Citizens for Citizens on outreach to eligible residents. The pilot is designed to test whether coordinated residential batteries can address local grid needs while expanding access to technology that can carry significant upfront costs. “BackupBattery+ will deliver a direct benefit to Fall River area customers, providing no-cost access to backup power and battery storage technologies that have traditionally been out of reach for many households,” said Steve Caldwell, vice president of Energy Efficiency and Clean Programs at National Grid. “This pilot will also help us test how coordinated home batteries can address local grid needs and learn whether this model can deliver meaningful value for participating households, the local community, and the broader electric system.” How the home battery
