The Grandkids’ [Christian, Kelsey, and Luke] Easter train could be positively described as an “Eggliner.” [:p]
Note the switch on top of the battery-egg to power the Eggliner. [;)]

That is pretty cool. Nice job on it!!!
Hey there,
An excellent way to get the kids involved! Well done. Later eh…Brian.
Very cute!
OUTSTANDING!!!
Well done, i have 11 grandchildren so i guess i can speak for everyone on this subject.
Something i would like you Americans to explain to me an Aussie. How did you come up with the idea that rabbits lay eggs?
Did you know there are egg laying mammals? They are called monotremes and only two species exist today, both of them are here in Australia only. The platypus, the worlds wierdest animal and an anteater called an echidna. When the Britisg naturalists discovered themn about 200 years ago they thought they had been out in the sun too long; any way no one believed them same as with the black swans.

Egg laying rabbits? I thought that came from England with Monty Python[:D]
platypus - Definitely the world’s weirdest animal! I’m not to sure those naturalists weren’t out in the sun too long[:-,]
You sure they didn’t let their “tea” ferment a bit too long?[:D][:D][:D][xx(][xx(]
Hey that looks cool! [(-D]
The Easter bunny doesn’t lay the eggs, he merely delivers them. He employs a sweatshop full of underpaid chickens who produce the eggs. The hard part is learning how to lay multi-colored eggs.
Happy Easter
To all our GRF friends, whatever your beliefs or creed, we wish you a day filled with Love, Happiness, Safety, Family and/or Friends. We will celebrate Resurection Day with Worship, family, food, Easter egg hunts, trains, baseball, and other games.
…and Oh, can I say Grandkids again? [:p][:p]
JimC & Susie
Tyhanks for explaining the relationship between eggs and rabbits i have never understood it untill now.

Nice Jim.A good way to get children involved with RR. My grandson’s especially like my trains. I beleive my 18 month olds first words were choo choo.[:)]
My grandson at 15 months didn’t speak much at all but he had learned some sign language. He created his own sign for train - right hand going back and forth, left to right, as if he is holding the top of a box car and running it up and down the track. He learned how to do that from the G scale New Bright set the wife got me for Christmas so that he and I could play together. Combined with the sign for Gramfather, I am now officially designated as Grandpa Train. (My wife, the sports fanatic, is Grandma Football.)
Well I wish we had thought of that for Easter, we bought an Eggliner for a bit of fun whilst at the LGB shop in New York last year, our suitcase came back from NY packed with good stuff we bought there. Much cheaper than here in the UK and the grandkids love the Eggliner, my favourite is always the Gallopinggoose [:D]
LGB stuff is dear in the UK but nowhere near as here is Aus, and much worse in Kiwiland.
I have a freind in Essex that buys all his stuff in Germany, goes over for a day or so and comes back with a boot full. I didn’t do too well with his contacts but i have an ok one in Hamburg if you are interested and do not have too many technical requirements, he aint too good technically.
A German LGB extra dealer is a place of wonder a bit like aladins cave.
