I am in to garden trains.

Half of my backyard is set up for this.  I have a bunch of LGB trains.

One of the vendors I purchase from Train-Li has a VW Split window that runs on
the track.

I can post pictures if you want.

Garden Trains is a way for Michelle and I to spend some time together!!  Well,
besides camping in the van.
