Mike White of the Watertown Model Railroad Club said, "There are hours and hours and hours of work that goes into this. It's tedious. It's technical. There's a lot of little fine detailing that goes into this. It fascinates people in different ways. Some people like the nostalgia of it. Some people like the running of it, and others like to watch it. It brings them back to their childhood."

If you are interested in going to the Central New York Model Train Fair, the show runs today from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.
