Mini Railroad Coming Back Soon

WCA member and ESRM President Dakin Morehouse sent me a message and some photos and videos  (see below) of the Mini RR that was running at the museum until last fall when Hurricane Irene pulled up the tracks. The volunteers at the museum have been working hard to restore service. They are almost finished. I will let you know when they are fully up and running so you can all go and pay the museum a visit and see the super fun mini.  Here is what Dakin had to say.

Just a couple shots of:
Doris and her favorite engineer (with Davy and his steamer behind),
- the pudgy engineer himself,
- and Davy - with a (friendly) cop.
Ah this second childhood is rough!
