Model Train Show

The Villages in Florida are about an hour from where we now live.

One of my friends sent me information about the Model Train Show at the Villages. 

The Mister has some Z-scale trains, more N-scale trains, and some more garden scale

trains. So, of course he was quite happy to make a trek to The Villages. 

There were a number of displays, one of just about every scale of train set-up that is out there. 

There were actually three working roller coaster displays among the trains.

Among the smallest of scales is Z scale. The rails of the track are just over 1/4" apart. 

The Mister has a few trains in the scale. 

I enjoyed watching kids (of all ages) interacting with the displays.

Peter Pan must have been here....

there are a bunch of "boys" who refuse to grow up, 

and want to play with their trains!

A few views of the layouts:

As the show was coming to a close, this large display had dedicated

track that brought the trains into the inner sanctum, 

where they could be removed and packed, 

ready to go back home with the train collector.
