The show brings out a nice cross section of the valley. Young ones find a new hobby, and old ones get to be kids again. I would love to get candid photographs of them all, interesting faces with silly smirks, or scowls of envy.
Colorful old toy trains, and accessories have a great look. I especially like the metal ones, but I don't want start obsessing over another thing to collect.
Some toys are bigger than others.
And some layouts even bigger
This club used wireless headsets to communicate around the layout.
Just the right size for the little tykes. Kids seem even more fascinated by mechanical movement in this digital age.
I use to think it rude if not down right creepy for some middle aged guy to run around taking pictures of kids, but I'm getting over that, and finding it very challenging to get good shots of candid subjects. Kids are especially difficult, they just won't stand still.
I'm still uploading photos from the show as I write this on Monday night into Tuesday morning. Plus I have Gigs of video to edited. In the midst of this I'm also migrating to new laptop. So bear with me. There's more coming!

Yes, that non-white person in a hoodie looks like quite the character...or just a regular guy who doesn't need to be subjected to the judgments of your racist ass.
OMG! A white guy took a picture of a black guy with a quirky personality and called him a colorful character. Call the police! <-thats called sarcasm.
Whoever you are, you have racial issues, and need to just get over the color of peoples skin. People are people, and My writing is colorblind.
It's a shame I have to re-write a few words because they're misconstrued as racist, but this is the problem of not having an editor. I just don't think in racist terms so It doesn't read that way to me.
I changed the line:
"The show brings out quite the characters. Some more colorful than others."
to:
"The show brings out a nice cross section of the valley. Young ones find a new hobby, and old ones get to be kids again."
This is more accurate to what I wanted to say in the first place, but couldn't think of the right words at 2:00 am half asleep.
Wow! I am very disappointed to read that first comment! This blog is a place of news not a place of serious disrespect of that nature!
ANYWAYS, Peter, great job on making some very clear shots of the event. Id love to have seen more people and their interaction and reaction to the event. But, it was a great series of photos. And the photo with the MAN in the hoodie, he looks as if he is reminiscing a time in his life that had to do with trains. Great capture.
Thanks Jeff! I think the guy with the hoodie is my favorite of the whole set.
