Take a Model Train to Work Day 2003

The World’s Greatest Hobby Designates November 14 The Third Annual “Take a Model Train to Work Day”




Waukesha, WI— For the third year in a row, the World’s Greatest HobbySM campaign invites hobbyists to share their love of model railroading with colleagues and friends on Take a Model Train to Work Day—Friday, November 14, 2003. This occasion offers an opportunity for model train enthusiasts to share their love of model trains with their friends and co-workers.

The previous two events were national successes. In addition to hundreds of enthusiasts bringing their layouts to work, the General Motors Design Center in Warren, MI filled its second-floor lobby with dozens of model trains, including many S and O gauge toy trains. More than 20 designers, engineers, sculptors and other GM employees participated in the event as part of GM’s Employee Enthusiasm Program.

“Take a Model Train to Work Day has been a huge success, and we are looking forward to new model train enthusiasts showing their hobby this year,” said Model Railroader Editor Terry Thompson. “The spirit of the World’s Greatest HobbySM emphasizes a feeling of community, volunteerism and friendship that materializes on Take a Model Train to Work Day. The best way to expand and generate more interest in the hobby is to tap into the enthusiasm of the 500,000 hobbyists already devoting their time and energy to model railroads.”

The World’s Greatest HobbySM enjoys support from every strata of the model railroading world—from manufacturers to individual hobbyists. Over 1,000 model railroaders have volunteered as Ambassadors to share their love of the hobby in presentations to community and civic organizations. They are aided in their presentations by a video starring actor and enthusiast Michael Gross. Additionally, 706 model train clubs and 722 hobby shops participate in the outreach program.

Participants are encouraged to send photos and success stories from Take a Model Train to Work Day to World’s Greatest Hobby, P.O. Box 1612, Waukesha, WI 53187-1612. A selection of submissions will be published at www.greatesthobby.com and in affiliated magazines.
