been a guy in the port a potty on a very but i have a gentleman who i spoke with a couple years ago and he's returned also for two thousand and thirty and you are going jones and what is your display here well what we have here is a twenty by forty one hundred percent playable bill railroad and for those that don't understand what play play well bill is a toy you know ideally made for children but some dolls collectors have kind of taken over in certain niches but it's a it's a german made toys that imported all over the world and originated right around one nine hundred seventy four what made you decide to get into the play will be well it started with my wife started collecting in kind of snow related themes and with a love for rare road and myself we kind of combined the two efforts and realized that events like this we could make a display that the definitely that would be a goal of ours and hopefully he'll really enjoy it and how is he doing it so far well so far he's still so young that it just cry looks like one big blur to him but he does love to watch the trains go by so there's definitely going to be some inspiration there for him in the future how long does it usually takes to get all this set up a set up like this takes two to  from time to time just depends on the venue or the location well now do you guys if you have a website or anything you know web site so just people are interested in seeing your selection of ok well thank you for your time control the trai very very year here last year was not as busy because we had that snow so now the weather's a little nicer and it's a little more not necessarily i might bring more caffeine and to get a better to make it more accessible for children so from the time that wooden toys when trains are a toy in a box until the time that they start looking at model railroading as a hobby there's a big gap and this is the kind of thing that a parent and a child our  they're all different sizes  the older gentleman here but working on it trying to get it right a little while there were things were right locomotives to equal the size of the real thing fit a lot of scenery in a fairly small area so it's it's a good scale for a homely out or you may only have like a spare bedroom or a garage to build a relatively small way out to many people have homes that are big enough to housing a layout quite this big eighteen volts on the trackage and it sees a digital command control system on the rails and picks it up another standard and then there's a unit track which is a snow the standard in their city tracks is another standard and legacy just not any of the four others standard because we were built previous to those standards so no other you know and track modules and they are from europe or japan or east coast come in here and operate with us because we cannot back running trains we had i ever in here at one time we had almost all of the celebrities and ad behind the layout running trains on us now and you can come down here located here in north queensland and he had us come in here to make movies and we sat down and we spent two weeks making movies with us layout and he sat here and a  finer details he went in and the details that we didn't see by these digital cameras they came by and they would fly right through here all in the brain and they were fixed different things that we didn't see and could fix things up so what they what they wanted to see digitize things they wanted so you see some movies and you'll see with different things going on now here  oh you know it was kind of fun some of the things that made moderator which will be our twenty second annual show and every year you do that yeah every year and it's on our web page and ninety percent of that money goes to our for a challenge nation to support the kids and we buy all the things that they need you know new dog cages or display cases or job things or trailers or different things as grants that they get and it's from the model railroad show that usually happens two weeks after but we were prepared for that now it's a training show for us in a few years to do the national show and a national show when we do it will be sponsored by the four h and us for the scale national convention between that the next that's a pretty good size coloring and having lots and lots of f easy parking we're in the central park paid for out of seattle people it's six dollars a day for parking not per hour  thank you very much thank you trainer very interesting with all the other events that are going on just you prepar trying to make room for a live there's another section we're go viewers out there younger or older about railroads model railroading well it's still a great life long hobby you can learn many different things the shining a layout plan you learn geometry when smoke and just general play value a set measurement from the front of the layout to where they are placed the on the rail premise is a two track mainline as opposed to three and the modelers able to put it the mainline wherever they would like within the module for ease of adding industry or other sightings or modeling that you have an example  for you to see on the for modules the two track mainline concept where it's more prototypical what you see every day out of the real world with the exception of the northeast corridor or of the us you hardly see three main lines  put industry or other scenery how he would like to dictate where they go as opposed to a specified concept and how
