It's amazing to me how much these guys spend on their model trains at this show. But then I'm a train station nut, not a train nut! I know, there's a thin line!

When I was growing up, my Grandmother owned a Toy Store ("Toy Town" in Venice, Florida). She took me to a train show like this in Tampa. I was hooked on HO Trains and Railroads for years! I still have a few cars and engines in boxes in the closet.

Fred--"Toy Town" must have been like your wonderland as a child!
