The World’s Greatest Hobby On Tour – Model Train Event!

Filed under Oct. 2010 Events by whatsdo2 on March 15, 2011 at 3:57 pm {no comments}

PUBLISHER’S NOTE: When Ashley took her son to this event this weekend, it did not offer the “more than 100 trains for kids to play with” as advertised, and her son was yelled at several times for trying to touch the trains. It was a good event for train hobbyists, but not for young kids. It did, however, have the train ride. Overall, however, she did not feel this was a particularly kid-friendly event
