Building model railways is a hobby of well-known celebrities like Michael Jordan, Tom Hanks, and Bruce Springsteen. The passion for the craft had to start somewhere, and Saturday in Albany, people young and old getting their start.

The biannual Albany Train Show at the Polish Community Center featuring more than 100 tables of trains. This was their March edition, an opportunity for seasoned collectors or first-time builders to get a glimpse of what it’s all about.

Jeff Stedge: “Model railroading is really a great opportunity for people to build their own world, the trains running around are great, but this is the golden age of model railroading where you can create your own world in your basement.”

There were also free appraisals and realistic miniature tree clinics. They'll be back again in November.
