Little Boys and Train Show


March 5 was the day for the big train show in Kansas City and we took the grandsons to check it out.



There was a big layout of Thomas the Train engines


It was a big hit!


Next up was a On30 scale Layout with a Colorado theme - my favorite







Bennett had a bird's eye view



The Bachmann display had many examples of the Thomas Trains they market



Layouts were of all sizes and heights

A complete scale model circus with operating rides

Several model railroads made from Lego's were on display













We liked the firemen feeding a pizza to the dinosaur

The Hulk in action


Emery ran a wireless controller at the Lionel display


These were very well done models of the means that Boeing aircraft fuselages are transported from Wichita to Seattle for final assembly. 


Lots of time in building this roller coaster

Running another layout


Ships and waterways were modelled

3D printers were running showing the latest technology for making model railroad parts


Z scale is VERY tiny and allows the builder to pack a lot of scenery into the space with the trains









Photographers were set up with props


Garden railroads were set up at eye level for the kids to follow along

Several engines that operate using real steam were on display. They have small burners that boil water for steam




Waiting for the train to come by
