World's Greatest Hobby Online, a groundbreaking virtual model train show organized by the World's Greatest Hobby, was a resounding success. This innovative event, held on April 17th, replicated the immersive experience of in-person train shows, attracting over 10,000 attendees from six continents. What set World's Greatest Hobby Online apart from previous virtual train shows was its user-selected, interactive content, allowing attendees to engage with exhibitors via live streaming video and chat rooms.

The technical infrastructure developed for the show exceeded expectations, providing attendees with a seamless and user-friendly experience. Industry leaders, including Stacey Walthers Naffah, President of Wm. K.

Walthers Inc., expressed their pride in the industry's ability to connect with hobbyists in new and exciting ways. The virtual booths, featuring captivating live stream videos, drew between 1,000 and 2,000 visitors each, with attendees spending an average of 5 to 15 minutes exploring the exhibits. Additionally, the keynote addresses by model railroad industry leaders captivated an audience of over 7,500 viewers.

In total, almost 10,000 hours of video content were consumed during this one-day extravaganza. Now, the World's Greatest Hobby organization is assessing how to leverage this successful concept and technology to deliver even more remarkable shows to a wider audience.
