My husband has recently gotten into model trains. He has fond memories of working on layouts and such from his childhood and I figured after over 10 years of talking about it he probably won't lose interest after 6 months.
He's working with "N" Scale trains which are on the small side - works better since we live in townhome and the only space he can have (I'll let him have
) is the dining room which is a pretty small space.
He thought he was getting a new hobby but he didn't know that he would have two calicos who are as obsessed with the trains as he is! Here are a few shots from the first night he set up a small, one loop track just to make them go.
(Please excuse the mess - he just pushed stuff aside to get the space cleared out and obviously we had been shopping & the bags ended up on the couch...)
The trains...
The feline reaction...
Ginger Cookie is obsessed!
Annie looks like she's casually watching, but it's much more than casual. She's earned the nickname "Go-Go-Catzilla" (from the Blue Oyster Cult song Godzilla) for her midnight cavorting in the railyard!
These are the first videos I've taken, so it's pretty wobbly. Ginger looks like she's watching a tennis match!
