How Much Fun Can You Have With Your Trains?

I was collecting images of model train sets the other day and found myself focussed on the ones with people and their trains. They all seemed so happy.   What other hobby can do this to so many people?  So many of such a wide variety of age and gender?   I put the images together into a video that you can watch here: The Greatest Hobby In The World.

 

I hope you enjoy it. It only runs for a couple of minutes.

The Greatest Hobby In The World

A Model Railway Club is one of the best ways of getting up-to-date information and help from experts in our beloved hobby. I joined an online model railway club and it has made an amazing difference to the enjoyment I get from my trains. I highly recommend you find a club you are happy with. An online club is great for information and help. But if you are looking for more of a get-together social interaction, look for something in your area.
