Mebbe Sat AM. I'll check with the family.
Eva has been playing with my old HO trains and has really been enjoying them. They've been sleeping in a box for many years, I wonder how they feel getting woken up like that? We were even watching old steam train videos the other day. She was amazed at how big they are.

We did it for a couple of years before we moved over here. It's not the longest ride on the planet, but it's pretty cool. If you can, sit in the last car (if they still have the cool observation car). Be patient with the lines, it is a volunteer effort.
