The family had a wonderful day spending the morning at the Titletown Model Train Show in Green Bay! The show brought back memories for me as a child when I spent many hours playing with my HO gauge model railroad. The show boasted 45,000 square feet of model railroad setups! Alyssa commented that it would have been a great hangout for single women given the blatantly obvious 9:1 male:female ratio. That comment made us all laugh. She hasn’t been to a hamfest, I thought. This was certainly a niche culture that was very fun to observe (aside from the trains of course). The kids enjoyed looking at all the scaled scenes and I was amazed at how much progress was made in controlling all those trains. Now all the “conductors/engineers” had wireless remotes that were able to control multiple trains in many directions with great ease! I was even invited to join a club…. I think not. Afterwards, we headed to Titletown Brewing Company for lunch and beer (kids drank root beer of course) before heading home.
