We bought a house with a basement that I thought would be perfect for his set, but we have too much stuff stored down there.

I don't think I ever played with it as I was very young and the train was very heavy.I also remember the smell of the metal on metal that as produced when it ran!

After dinner he would go to the basement and fiddle for hours. I loved the little animals and people.Linda Matchetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05921797723329487407noreply@blogger.com
