Ocean Grove Holiday Show

Thor's Tinplate World O Gauge Railroad Show II

Along with shaaring the hobby, this was an opportunity to help folks get started with trains. I had brought the OCSMR flyers with information on Trains for the Holidays. As you can see from the photos, trains took center stage o nthis day.

Here's that lighthouse, and in back you can see an old tin station and tower.

This little fellow is one of many who was thrilled by the trains. He liked how the passenger cars were lit from the inside.

As you can see by the speed of that train, I have a reputation at the Ocean County Society of Model Railroaders for running them fast. Well, the kids like it....

Children go absolutely bananas when they see that trolley doing it's bumper-to-bumper reverse.

The Silly Blue Locomotive was such a big hit with little ones, simply because they equated it with Thomas the Tank Engine. As you can see, it has no face, but the kids didn't seem to notice.

Here I am giving some parents directions to a hobby shop that sells O Gauge trains. Many parents liked the big trains, but had no idea where they were sold. Unfortunately, few of the big toy stores carry O gauge trains.
