No--I worked the night shift. I did bring some railroad books, but that's not too different from every other day I come to work...

Sad to say I didn't participate in the take a train to work day - I felt turning up to lectures with a model train probably wouldn't go down too well, and I'd also be worried about the model getting damaged.

I'm self employed. In theory, I guess I could make everyday a bring your train to work day.

I didn't vote as my answer doesn't fit. I am retired so don't have a place to "go" to work. However, I did invite a couple neighbors over to show off what I am building.

Does that count... [:p]

Nope, the bean counters would get all bent out a shape even if I brought in my dinky 8x8 micro-layout.

Some people are just no fun...

   Have fun with your trains

I'm retired, living on the west coast in a retirement community. My layout is in the garage and when the weather is mild enough I model with the garage door open. It is interesting to talk to all the people whom seem to be interested in what I am doing. I guess what I am saying is that I "bring my hobby to work most days"
