The weather is a little inclement outside, so I am inside running my trains. I have a Santa Fe 2343 postwar running on one loop, a postwar 2056 Hudson running on another loop, and my little dog laying beside me. I loaded some original Lionel smoke fluid in the Hudson. The sights and smells from the trains, smoke and ozone are all vintage 1950s. Life is good.
Don’t you just love it? The chill in the air and the war between the leaves for most dazzling color make me think of Christmas. So I put on my warmest sweater and started giving the Polar Express a tune-up.
