 I loved the photo in the recent Classic Trains of the little one in the cab being given a hold of the throttle. If this picture turns out, you'll see that the smile is still the same today. The five year old is one of my sons, William, and the loco is a Baldwin built Mikado, running around it's train on a tourist line in Australia.

I saw the pic in the magazine, it tickled me so much! I had to show you all that the smile will never change.

 I'm much older than he is, but my smile would be much the same as his.
