Well I'm doing my bit this year, delivering mercy packages for the "Smith Family", a local charitable organisation working in with the Sallies I think.

It is sad in these countries of ours, which are lands of full and plenty that people are so disadvantaged.

Ps The Smith Family is no relative of Vic.

I took my black 0-4-0, some freight cars and track to "her" house for the boys to play with for the week. Since Chrstmas is likely to be pretty thin this year, I'm thinking about saying, "Guys, this is your train. Merry Christmas."

We have our Normal Rockwell cars on display at the local pizza place for all to see yet out of reach of many.


You don't have to have anything fancy, just ask around and I'm sure many stores would love to see trains in their displays.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.
