After being stored in boxes for more than 12 years, the train has re-surfaced from Indiana to Arizona. The train tracks have been mounted almost 8 feet above the floor on decorative shelving and crown molding. The train makes laps around one guest bedroom before passing through the wall making a lap around the nursery and then steams through another wall and ending up where it began. The train does have a parking garage so that it is out of sight when not being operated, this is accomplished by a set of switch tracks to allow the train to back-up into the closet ceiling and be protected from dust and dirt. You know me, I added the switch tracks and the garage so that I would be one up on grandpa. The entire project is not yet finished, but should be in the next several weeks and then pictures and videos will follow. This project should bring enjoyment and memories to many, but as we remember, this will ALWAYS be grandpa's train.

Okay that is too cool!!! I hope you will let us come invade your house so my boys can see that - they would love it.
Neal will have the room done in no time and then everyone can come see it. He has been working so hard up there. I can't wait until it is finished!
The train is very cool. Grandpa would be amazed with everything you have done. He would love it. The baby bedding is going to go perfect in there too! Can't wait to see it completed.
