Dec 26--Visiting a Train

My mother had been wanting us to go see this model train set-up, done by one of her friends. We made time the day after Christmas. A and E were not too happy about going, until we got there. There was a pair of friendly farm dogs to entertain.
Then, there was a flock of turkeys to greet us.
I'd never been up close when one gobbled, or fanned his tail feathers, before!

Then, of course, there was the model train house. This guy (a former Navy submarine commander--he was the first to command a sub under the North Pole), has gone all out--no expense spared, no details left out!

The room was full, with details like skiers on a mountain, or a wedding in process at a church that the train traveled by. We oohed and aahed, along with several other visitors. It was a very magical, delightful setup!


We were all glad we'd made the time to see this. Who knew such a set-up would be in tiny Lincoln, Idaho?
