Hi everyone!Fred and I had a fun weekend. We left the pug at home and went to Denver to see the Model Train Show.
It was huge and packed! It is so much fun to see people of all ages enjoying an art that is truly amazing.
Look at the realism people can achieve!
Fred's model train is in HO scale and he was impressed with all the detail you can achieve in such a small space for the Z.
There was so much to see and buy that Fred decided he did not need anything right now and just wanted to see the possibilities from the models that were set up.
I totally get that. It was alot to choose from, but how can you turn down a sale on clump foliage? :)
If you missed my post on us creating trees from clump foliage last year, click here. It was so much fun!
Here is a short video on two model trains passing each other with sound and everything. :)
We had a fun day and now Fred has a lot of great ideas he wants to try on his landscape.
I will keep you posted on his progress. I think the lake complete with fisherman is next. :)
What are some of your favorite hobbies? Please let us know! We would love to hear all about it!
Have a super day everyone!

We have a train that we've yet to be able to put up at Christmas as the dude still likes to put things in his mouth too much. Ah ha ha
ReplyDeleteThat must have been so much fun. There was a great train display at Union Station here for Christmas. I am always impressed at the detail too. Keep telling myself, need to get back to work on that dollhouse:)

It's such a great hobby for Fred! I bet that was a fascinating show! Seems like you guys had a great time!!
ReplyDeleteMelissa, honey.....now that DOES look like a good time but how could ya have fun without Emmitt??
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. Boy howdy, who could resist a sale on clump foliage?
As far as hobbies go, my mom used tuh sing with her lady-singing group fer a lotta years, but that's kinda gone tuh the wayside fer now. (That's where she got all them STOOPID songs she sings tuh Molly an' me!)
What a fun time you and Fred must have had at the show, Melissa! Maybe Emmitt can go next time!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots
Maggie and Mitch
I bet the Model Train Show was awesome. When I first came on your blog and seen the picture of a train coming through the tunnel before reading the post title, I thought it was real. The possibilites are endless, Fred should have a blast!
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa! I can't wait to see the trains when I go to Colorado this spring. Hopefully Emmitt will give me the pug tour.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Emmitt didn't mind staying at home while you guys went to Denver. He probably just slept and dreamt about mini meatloaves!
