Brampton Train Show.....Class Act Club
Posted by CP5415 on Sunday, October 2, 2011 8:58 PM

So, I took Liam to a train show in Brampton, ON today.

Nice show, bunch of vendors & clubs, nice wide open space for the show.

Liam was doing his usual bouncing off the layouts while I was scoping out the vendors.

We came across the Nottawasaga Modle Railroad Club, the layout was 4' off the ground so I set up the small step ladder I carry around so he can check out the taller layouts & one of the operators came over & asked if Liam wanted to "run" a train.! DUH!

They run Digitrax DCC & one locomotive had sound. Liam was all over this. Just my luck.  HE ran it for a while, makin sure he didn't run any red signals.

We left so I could check the rest of the show & came back about an hour later. This time, they got him switching a mine.

He finished that, nothing broken! YEY! When that was done, they gave Liam a certificate for the title of Junior Model Railway Engineer which grants him the opportunity to run trains with the club at future shows.

Down right cool!
