Another trip to Cornerfield Hobby!

You just can’t see it all in 1 visit so I took the guys from Imperial Train Company up. It still amazes me even on my second trip. As always Tom and his family were great hosts. Tom Jr. is so impressive at working the trains. He was taking requests yesterday and managed to get the Acela out onto the mainline for us. First time I’ve seen one.

Many thanks to the entire gang. And everyone agreed that we’d be back.

Now with another round of pictures and videos. Do yourself a favor and plan a trip. I think we were there for 3 hours. Lol. I'll add more tomorrow.

What great ambassadors to the hobby!

They are working on it. The plastic wall will hopefully be down after Thanksgiving. The track work will be done but Tom said they'll still have scenery to do. Just another reason to go up again!

I see something new every time. One of my favorite shots was down the street. The buildings frame the shot when the gates come down and the train goes through the shot.

Thank you Marty for posting the photographs and videos! I don’t know how long I was there that day, but I was with a group from Ohio of about 40 people, and I was the last to leave. I consider one 3-hour visit to be an overview! Great job Tom Sr, Tom Jr, Vicki, and your daughter too. Great folks to just visit with! I’ll be back!

It is. What really is a bonus is when Tom Jr. is operating there is such attention to detail to signalling. He is also very attentive to where people are around the layout and where the trains are. So if you are shooting video you get some signalling and added sounds. Bottom line is Tom is always operating the trains, not just letting them loop around the layout. He switched several trains for us while we were there upon request and changed a few out on his own.

Just a really cool place.
