Yesterday Hubby and I were at a hobby store to find model trains for our son. G, who started with Thomas the Tank Engine and then graduated to GeoTrax but is now into model trains, wants model trains and only model trains for Christmas. Unless you catch him at the right time and he’ll admit he wants Spider-Man, too. And an Xbox.
In the model train section you can buy trains and tracks but also you can buy water towers and train stations and store fronts and trees. Everything you need to make your track look like it’s running through a little city.
You can even buy people. Now, there’s not a bin with the people thrown in for you to just pull out a few and call it good, no, they are packaged in groups of five with specific headings: Tourists, Waving People, Sitting People, Construction Crew, etc. There was even a group labeled FAT PEOPLE.
Really? That’s totally necessary? Might be a little rude, Model Train People.
