As Mister Rogers taught us when we were kids, miniature trains can be badass. See them in all their rollin' splendor at today's World's Greatest Hobby on Tour, an expo that features live entertainment, seminars, manufacturers and retailers of model trains and Thomas the Tank Engine for the kids. You'll be downright derailed by the expo's scaled-down cities, which boast intricate trains winding through mountains, lakes and streetscapes. Bring all aboard from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, January 7, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today.
Jan. 7-8
