I woke up and made coffee.
and then proceeded to train room added smoke fluid waited a few minutes and powered up the layout.
magic the ross #50 lanterns were glowing slightly rest of room semi dark passenger cars and cabooses all aglow.
I then powered up the #261 s-3 and then the atsf #3751 also the lionel shay and then..... I sent the command for each one to start moving with train brake set so all are laboring and the smoke is blasting from all 3 smoke stacks the quilling of the steam whistle piercing the early morning air!
I found the Magic of 1957 all over again a truly magical Christmas day as I received from Santa a 6220 atsf switcher yes there is a Santa and he lives in us all!
hope your train days ahead find the magic too.
