Hobbies And Trains
Recently I bought a magazine dedicated to Scale Model Trains. There inside was an article about the Milwaukee Train fest. This is the third year they have held it and 21,621 railroad fans attended. I got my answer to something I wondered about. There are fans like me out there. I remembered my Uncle and his favorite hobby, which was his train set. It was a long time ago, but what I do remember was the smoke rising from the locomotive. I can still picture the little villages, people, and the way he could control the track. One time the train would go this way and the next it would go another.
I can still hear the whistle blow and the crossing bell. Those were really fun times. I looked forward to Christmas and watching Uncle Joe play with his Model Toy Train. Another thing that amazed me was the detail of everything. In this young boys eyes it was a miniature version of the real thing. One year he had snow on the tracks and I was concerned that it would derail the trail. Looking back I’m sure he got a kick out of that. The magazine I bought goes into detail about different types of Model Toy Trains, including HO,N and large scales. You can now use digital controls. From the novice to the engineer there is a train set out there for every fan. I also noticed a lot of people that are collectors. My life today is a far cry from those innocent days, but I’d love to go back and watch that train run around that track one more time.
