Some of us have a close personal connection from our childhood with model trains and the end of year holiday season. The annual train show that comes to the Kensington Town Hall arrives a bit earlier than that – every September, in fact. But take a look at this great video capturing kids’ expressions as they watch the trains and listen to Mattew Todd, who shares railroad songs and stories. In case any of you nostalgia buffs missed it, here are a few photos from this year’s show, courtesy of Joe Harkins, PRA volunteer photographer and from the video.
The National Capital Trackers, a local club, run “O” gauge electric trains on multiple layouts, with flourishes such as train whistles, steam, depots, and bridges. The show is sponsored by the Ditto Group of Long & Foster Real Estate and the Town of Kensington. Proceeds benefit the Noyes Children’s Library Foundation (noyeslibraryfoundation.org)and the Kensington Historical Society (kensingtonhistory.org)
