well the Northeast large-scale terrain
show is taking place this weekend at the
eastern states Exposition in West
Springfield 22 news reporter Kaye cins
stop by for the day for one of the
festivities all aboard the Northeast
largescale Train
show train enthusiasts of all ages
visited the Young Building at the
eastern states Exposition on Saturday
for displays Hands-On activities and
more they said we have nothing in New
England that does large scale trains so
we said let's try it let's do it because
we already do the January show which is
the largest show in the country so let
let's try to do this need this Niche
that seems to be growing it especially
seems to be peing the interest of young
people a group of 15 children registered
for a train building clinic at the show
using assorted materials to bring
Creations to life you know one of the
things that we have noticed in the last
few years is that most of the garden
rers are up
5 plus maybe but anyway what we wanted
to do is get the young ones involved I
think it's a lifelong connection I think
once you're hooked you're you're in it
for life so if we could get the young
kids away from computers away from their
phones and actually get their hands on
and do some things uh that would make me
real happy it's estimated that between,
1500 and 2,000 people will attend the
show which continues on Sunday from 9:00
a.m. until 400 p.m. working for you in
