Wednesday Feb 11. 2015 Farmer's Market and Model Railroad Club

Farmer's Market Day
After we stocked up on tomatoes, sugar snap peas, onions, green peppers, and cucumbers, I took some pictures of the different vendors and the crowds.  The Model Railroad Club is in the same store front mall.

 Who has more fun than these grown up railroaders?  The modular layout is spectacular.  I took some close up pictures of only some of the vignettes.  ( possibly model railroaders would be offended by that term)

 This is "N" scale which means all the buildings, landscape, people and vehicles are to scale ( tiny people!!!)

 I love the water scenes.  There is a seaplane by the pier.  Notice the name of the dock company - "Watzup Dock Company

 Tunnels, evergreen forest, RV camper and "canoers"

 Even a simulated forest fire with an air plane dropping fire retardant.  I met another tourist who flew those water drop planes for 4 years.  This was his favorite scene.

 Here's where widgets were made!!!

 This was made by a metal worker to illustrate a how ore ships are loaded.

 When I was there, this was the only train that was running

 They tell me this is a pretty accurate representation of Cleveland.

 The back drop picture adds a realistic background

 Autumn view - hard to imagine in Arizona.  Fortunately, model railroaders portray all parts of the country and all seasons.

 Could be Wisconsin cows??

It just needs a sailboat!!

 Another water scene

 "We all live in a yellow submarine......"
