Day in the Life of the Train Room with the Grandchildren

Today the grandchildren came over and they spent the day with grandpa. This is our story.

1 Checking out the track

1.   We arrived at Carlton Hobbies in Waterford, Michigan.  The boys ran directly to the train department.

2 Slot Car Drag

2   This Hobby Shop has two indoor tracks.  Radio controlled cars and slot cars.  We rented two slot cars and one hour of time. The shops owner set the speed power to the tracks, so the cars stay on the track but still ran fast and challenging.

3 Ordering Lunch at Culvers

3.  Across the street from the hobby shop, we ate lunch at Culvers.  Great hamburgers. See if their is one near your train room.   https://www.culvers.com/

4 Lunch at Culvars

4.  We had blue and white sprinkles on our frozen custard.  Grandpa had a hamburger and fries. Yes, a Pepsi for my drink.  

5 Dusting off the dirt

5.  Dusting off the dust from the flats before painting.

Thanks for taking a look: Gary from The Motor City

Great post, Gary. The wonderful day you had with your grandchildren and the trains is priceless, and what the World's Greatest Hobby is all about!
