Re: You never know what you'll see along the tracks!!!
The animal bearing name Alces alces is known in Europe as elk and in North America as moose. Poor guy, to spend his entire life with those initials, A.A. Though I've heard tell that he is a real party animal! Shall we consider ourselves "mooned by ‘da moose"

Re: You never know what you'll see along the tracks!!!
I think someone whose name starts with S has been over to play trains with you! You don't show any trains with his blue livery on them, but I'll bet they were there! As I understand the story, that is the real blue moose!
He also tells a good story!

Re: You never know what you'll see along the tracks!!!
I purchased him at a Christmas Store in NH several years ago. He is actually a Christmas Tree ornament. I have found some great stuff in these stores such as the accessories for those village scenes, such as rolls of brick roads, cast stone walls and other neat stuff.

I get a bunch of goodies for the RR each year form the "After Christmas Sales" from Michaels, Wal-Mart, Lowe's, Home Depot, Target and especially from the local "indoor" nurseries. I have collected the items needed for an amusement park, carousel, ferris wheel. (Actually that should say "The Wife has collected")

Hitting the post "halloween" sales has greatly increased the size of our halloween garage display each year. Thankfully it is in 3rail "O". 
Love the Bear !
