- 1 hr 4 min
This documentary film dives deep into the strange lives of those who build model railroads. The men featured in the movie are usually anti-social and carry poor health and social skills. Gary Meeker, for example, lives in his mother's basement in the middle of Oklahoma. As a child, he loved trains. Now, he searches the internet for train parts and uses his mother's retirement fund as a personal piggy bank to fund his toys and hobbies. The film shows the power of hobbies to overcome the rational side of the brain. Peggy Miller is the narrator in this powerful film.
