Doesn't everyone have a train or there under their tree

After the trains there is no money left for a Go Pro. I duct taped my phone to a caboose and ran the trains backwards.

And that is the difference between the cans and the can'ts in the world. Brilliant.

Nice trains. My Lionel didn't survive my childhood unfortunately.

Always enjoy your setup Wally. I hope to snatch up some of my families prized Lionel collection so I can make a winter layout. They're wasting away in boxes in my Grandma's basement. Unfortunately my uncle is the gatekeeper, so I have to go through him to get them.

Very cool!

I never understood why there was a connection between trains and Christmas, but it's pretty neat, whatever it is.

It's more or less the connection of toy trains and Christmas.

The trains are my favorite part of Christmas. Friends and family come over and their kids run them for hours. Now I have inherited another engine that I am getting repaired so I am trying to figure out where I can fit another track.

Wally, that's awesome! I love seeing the trains in Grand Central every year. When I was in high school I had a pretty good sized HO layout, but I boxed it up when I went to college and its been sitting ever since. One day I'll get it out and set it up again.
