His whole world was his collection of miniature trains that he proudly displayed in his own museum.  But none of it would have been possible without the help of volunteers from the Piatt County Museum. They took care of Ray for thirty years. They would take him to do his grocery shopping, do his laundry and most importantly pick him up every day of the year and take him to his museum. There Ray would spend the day being the boss of Rayville. This charming museum caught the eye of former WILL producer Matt Docter. Matt worked extremely hard on this story using unique camera angles to take the viewer inside the Rayville train layout. He also worked hard coaxing an interview out Mr. McIntyre. Matt and his twin brother Jason are also musicians, so they played and recorded music for the story. Now that Ray has passed, we hope this segment is a fitting tribute to a man who really loved trains. Rayville has closed and now it is the location of Prairie Fire Glass Studio. Soon the Rayville collection will be on display at the new Piatt County Museum. Matt Docter has since moved to Los Angeles and has a successful band call The Lift (http://www.theliftstation.com). He has also appeared in several films, ads and TV shows.
