Train-O-Rama, March 20th 2011


Well we were at the Costic Center in Farmington Hills last Sunday showing off our module. Hope you all could make it to see us and what we do best......trains.

This year I noticed there were LOTS of kids which is great! If we don't show them what trains are we will loose them. Not only the real thing but as a hobby too.

Here is the BEST littlest engineer I saw all day. He was there with his Dad and Brother.

This has got to be the best picture I took all day. It says everything........

If people have a question we try to help them with an answer. Sometimes people want to purchase a train from a vendor and ask us if they can place it on our track to see if it works. There are also sometime we just don't know why......like Bruce here thinking, and thinking.

Our next showing is at the Fox Run Retirement Village in Novi on June 4th and 5th, 2011. This even runs from 10am until 4pm. I know that this is a "gated" village and not sure if everyone can come. Here is their phone number, 248-668-8600. Give them a jingle. We would love to see you there.

Clinic for March 15th 2011



The clinic for this month is MTH Remote Commander. Dictated by Bruce Urbanski.

He taught us that this is a very simple way to play and own trains. As you can see by the picture, you can have a simple oval track and the train will work. Bruce told us that there is color coded set up and the electricity goes from train to track and then your done.

Don't forget the bell's and whistles.....really there are! Bruce, with the remote, pressed button and the train talked as if there were men on that train. There was smoke and of course the bell's and whistles. All you need now is to add the accessories, like a town or some homes and don't forget the trees.

Here is the link to MTH main page......

Until next month, please check out MTC.
