Making Grandpa proud!!!

Sounds like you have quite a granddaughter.

What a cute story. She right, that is unusual. Two gold stars for her.

Grandpa, you have a smart Granddaughter.

Dave - That reminds when my daughter and her sons called me about a train they saw parked outside a local Wal-Mart that had Mexican engines on it.  I wasn't surprised that she called about a train she saw, but that she recognized they were Mexican engines.  My wife and I happened to be in the area later in the day and the train was still parked there at a red block and it did have Mexican engines on the front. 

 

Another time my wife said something about being with the kids and seeing a double-stack train.  I looked at her funny and she said they have heard our train lingo for so long that it has rubbed off on the them.

 

You have to love it.

You have a very special granddaughter there...

Kids are great, grand kids even better! They sure know when something is out of place and just the right person to ask to get things straight. You have a wonderful grand daughter. Enjoy them before they get older and want to be off doing their own things. Great story!

 

 

Great story about your grand daughter, Dave!  

I have 11 8/9 grandchildren very soon to be 6 boys and 6 girls.  Of all of them only my oldest son's 2 girls really like trains.  At about 8 I showed the oldest how to use the DCS controller and let her run the trains.  It is still the first thing she wants to do when she gets to our house.
One Christmas they were at my son's brother-law's house.  He had set up his old train set - no cleaning or lubrication - and push the throttle all the way up.  As my son put it: Rebecca was horrified and told her uncle, that is not how you are supposed to do it.  You blow the whistle twice, ring the bell and start slowly.  She repeated everything she had learned.
You have to love the grand kids.
