Been a train enthusiast my whole life. Here is what I got to drive for my birthday thanks to my wife.

It was really cool to get to drive and I was surprised how easy it was. After we went to Bob's Train for dinner.

He has 3 dining cars including Jomar which was John and Mable Ringling's private dining car. One is completely restored and he runs a restaurant in it. He is a true character and loves what he does and has some great stories. When he isn't cooking he works on the other two cars.

I have a ton of HO stuff from the 70s in storage but have no place to set them up. I did get into N last year so I could have at least something going.
