The train was Papa Preston's train when he was a little boy and has been sitting in our garage for a couple of years. I don't have memories of this train specifically from the Holidays but I do remember it being set up in my Grandpa Preston's basement. My memory is of a large platform set up with trees, little villages, etc. - I'm not sure how accurate my memory is but it is special to have that same train now set up for my boys!)Last year Eric brought the engine to a local hobby shop and had it cleaned and serviced so it would be ready for action this year. As soon as he could, Eric had the track up (even before the tree) so that he could get the train going and continue the tradition from his growing up of having a train around the Christmas tree. and he got it going!
