6/14/14, Caboose Stop Hobbies sponsored a Cedar Rapids train layout tour. Two museums and eight individual layouts were open for the tour. My O gauge was the only one, added at the last minute, all others being HO scale. I had 42 visitors during the six hour period and recived many favorable comments. Met a fellow OGR poster who also bought parts from time to time where I used to work.
Anyway one mother bought her two sons, one who had ho-hum to trains, but the little brother was fascinated. He was well behaved, never touched anything but edge of table. Given his height, he had perfect eyeball view of the action. I kept my camera handy to watch peoples reaction to trains, but thought these pictures captured the essence of what this hobby is about.
Enjoy!!
