Trolley time

My wife's friends stopped by, and one brought her two-year old twins, a boy and girl. I put up a loop of O27 and ran some trains to amuse them. They were initially intimidated by a GP 9 with a pair of coaches, so I went for the Industrial Rail trolley. Wow! It was like a magic magnet. Little David was especially enthralled and watched it for at least an hour.
I have remarked a few times that trolleys really do it for the kids. At shows I;ve done, kids go wild when they see the bumper activated trolleys going back and forth.
Happy Railroading
