The Spirit of 1776

23 Nov

There it is . . . The REAL Spirit of 1776 Seaboard Coast Line engine. The TYCO version (I guess it was an L series) was the first toy train I ever got. AND DREW FOUND IT THIS WEEKEND!!
So, we found a good spot on mom’s den floor and set it up. From two trains and two track sets we got a good little test circle and fired it up! The bad news is the Spirit of 1776 was not running well. We are going to have to work on it a little . . . But the Rock Island engine was running pretty good. So, it looks like we will have a train set up somewhere in the house this Christmas!! Don’t tell Diana . . . I am SURE this is not in her Christmas decorating plans. We might have to hide it.
