Monday was a great day to run trains at the Maine Mall. Everything from Jim's Dockside Switcher which got him started in G scale to Carl's mighty Mallet, including Scott's PA-1 Rio-Grande which he saw in real life almost every day as a youngster in Colorado and the Club's new Thomas were just a few of the engines that entertained the crowd today. We met several interesting people today. One man is an engineer who operates the Polar Express train now running at the Maine Narrow Gauge in Portland. Many people have historic railroad documents of one type or another and other memorabilia. I have not met any person near my age that does not remember Lionel, American Flyer or Marx as a kid and the big train layouts that we are honoring from the past.Click here for more pictures and video's
