Great photos guys.  Tom, is there anywhere for people to buy trains near the museum?  Would be nice as you all get the "blood pumping", they can go buy trains.  Good job Frank.

There are two local hobby stores within 1.5 miles of the museum.

Spankybird, love the pictures with the children.  Nice ones to start with.  I've been working on my magnetic crane and was up late again when I took these shots.

Have a great day everyone......RJ
