52nd Atlanta Model Train Show

The 52nd Atlanta Model Train Show was held at the Infinite Energy Forum in Duluth, GA. The Forum is a wonderful place to hold an event and the Atlanta Model Train Show did not disappoint.


There were plenty of items to buy in various gauges of N, HO, and O, plus others.




Several operating layouts were also running throughout the day. The detail on many of these model railroad modules was fantastic.






The 52nd Atlanta Model Train Show was a nice show with plenty to see and buy. We will probably make a trip back to this one in the future.

Visiting Biltmore Estate at Christmas

Biltmore Estate during Christmas is a wonderful experience. We are annual pass holders so the Christmas at Biltmore Daytime Celebration is included. Reservations are still required to enter the house but annual pass holders aren't charged extra for the self guided tour. A bonus for pass holders is that you get up close parking as well.
