A TOOT-TOOT-TOOTIN' GOOD HOBBY

ILLUSTRATION: File photo

These model trains from J.A. ``Junie'' Lancaster's extensive

collection are just one example of what you can do if you take up

model railroads as a hobby. Lancaster has spent many years

collecting railroad cars and engines and such, but it's never to

late to take up model railroading. And if you just want to relive

the childhood joy of having a model railroad, there's a group that

can help. If you are interested in model trains and railroads, you

can find out more about the hobby by attending the Tidewater

Division of the National Model Railroad Association meeting,

Saturday, May 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Virginia Wesleyan

College Gym, 1584 Wesleyan Drive, Norfolk.
