On Friday, November 19, 2010

Elmhurst, IL - On Friday, November 19, 2010, 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 Tthe World's Greatest Hobby (a non profit organization), Take a Model Train to Work Day is one of the highlights of November as National Model Railroad Month.

"Take a Model Train to Work Day encourages them to voice their passion for model trains and spark conversations with their colleagues and friends about ways they can get involved."
