In a week, Christmas will be here and gone.  I found it interesting and heartening that you can still find toy trains for sale in a department store.  This is Boscov's in Scranton.  They have several sizes of trains, but O is represented by the Lionel Polar Express and the Pennsylvania Flyer.  I have my own Polar Express under the tree this year, so this one stayed on the shelf.

Scott,

Ive said it before, I really like what you and your son do with the trains at your church!  Then you work at the museum.  When do you have time for a job?

Most of the museum work I do on Wednesday mornings. I have a 6:00 AM Bible study on Wednesdays so I just plan on staying in Roanoke all day. So most Wednesdays I spend 2 to 3 hours at the museum. Sometimes I will go over another couple of days to work on a big project (Halloween, Jurassic World and Polar Express). As far as church goes, I set up once at the beginning of the month and bring in trains on Sunday mornings in December. There are some people that will visit our church just so their kids can see the trains.

My wife had knee surgery Friday, so I will be scaling it back tomorrow. I will be running a 384 Blue Comet Set and a Blue Comet colored 381 Electric Engine on the two Standard Gauge Tracks and the Scale Polar Express and the Polar Express Trolley on the two O-Gauge Tracks.
