Ten years displaying my hobby

[southpennrailroad]

It is now been 10 years that I have been displaying my South Pennsylvania Railroad hobby at Mountain Craft Days in Somerset. This year will focus on the Chestnut Ridge and where it was suppose to have been built. Nothing like waiting until the last minute to get a new display for viewing. Rush, Rush, Rush.

I get to show off my hobby as well as camp for four nights for free.

Your South PA RR is not a model is it? Just history?

I've considered doing a train layout. Even subscribed to a model train magazine.

It was the magazine that convinced me that it was really the layout I wanted to do. Didn't matter if there were trains in it or not. But I moved on to other hobbies before I ever did anything.

There is a model train club that occasionally displays at a nearby mall. It is so neat the way each member makes a same-size box diorama. The boxes line up with tracks that match and a train runs through each to the next. Every year the loop gets bigger as new boxes are added.

Yes just history as it never was completed. But what a hobby it turned out to be.
