The Train Kept A-Rolling All Night Long

The Coolsisters were having a nice midwestern-style visit over the holidays and one of the cool kids had recently moved into an old bank - two huge, wide-open floors and he got to thinking that the old family train set just might find a perfect home on the second floor living/dining/work space/kitchen. And so it was. A few manly hours were spent setting the whole thing up and when the Coolsisters arrived we jumped right in. There is nothing quite like that old lever-operated transformer, that electric-sparky smell, and the quiet clack, clack, clack of the locomotive and freight cars going round and round and round and round.
