As you can see by the speed of that train, I have a reputation at the Ocean County Society of Model Railroaders for running them fast. Well, the kids like it....
Here's that lighthouse, and in back you can see an old tin station and tower. |
This little fellow is one of many who was thrilled by the trains. He liked how the passenger cars were lit from the inside. |
My wife, Audrey, and our friends Alma and Steve planned to spend the day enjoying the holiday delights of Ocean Grove. No place on earth matches the town for excellent holiday decor on every block. This photo was taken a split second after a little boy ran by, looked at me and shouted, "Look! Santa Claus is running the big trains!" |
Children go absolutely bananas when they see that trolley doing it's bumper-to-bumper reverse. |
The Silly Blue Locomotive was such a big hit with little ones, simply because they equated it with Thomas the Tank Engine. As you can see, it has no face, but the kids didn't seem to notice. |
Here I am giving some parents directions to a hobby shop that sells O Gauge trains. Many parents liked the big trains, but had no idea where they were sold. Unfortunately, few of the big toy stores carry O gauge trains. |
