Wouldn’t it be fun to go to the Lionel Toy Train Convention in Denver?

“More than 1,000 model-train buffs such as Cook have taken over the Denver Marriott Tech Center hotel this week for the Lionel Collectors Club of America’s 40th annual convention.”

Here is Lionel’s website and the Convention is sponsored by the Lionel Collectors Club. According to the Convention Program, attendees really can ride trains every day and there are several to choose from in the Denver area.

  1. I’m going to GenCon instead, but yes it would be fun.

  2. It would be fun to go to the model railroading convention, but then I’d be hooked on the hobby. And I think a cocaine habit would be cheaper.

  3. I learned about 40 years ago that toy trains (Sorry, model railroading) is a hobby of the cold weather states. I was really into it as a kid and I set up a nice train layout for my two sons when they were about 5 and 7. They never played with it. They were outside all day.
