The World's Greatest Hobby Announces the
Eleventh Annual "Take a Model Train to Work Day"
On Friday, November 18, 2011

Waukesha, WI - On Friday, November 18, 2011, model railroaders across the country will add trains and tracks to the watercooler conversations when they bring their favorite locomotive or other hobby artifact to work. Launched in 2001 by Model Trains: the World's Greatest Hobby, Take a Model Train to Work Day kicks off model railroading's high season, culminating in the December holidays.

Take a Model Train to Work Day draws on the grassroots volunteerism behind the Model Trains: the World's Greatest Hobby campaign to stimulate interest in model railroading. At offices like the General Motors Design Center in Warren, MI, Take a Model Train to Work Day has become an annual tradition, with dozens of employees participating every year.

Model Trains: the World's Greatest Hobby enjoys support across the model railroading world - from large manufacturers and hobby shops to local clubs and individual hobbyists.  More than 800 model train clubs and 800 hobby shops currently participate in the outreach program.
