My mom gave me a Life-Like Rail Charger set for Christmas. She always gives us toys, and at 31 years old I'm still a fan of that. This year she found this one engine three car set at a discount store. My siblings each picked me up IHC pre-built models as well. Shopping at the same discount store I had picked up a few of the IHC green houses, although I had resisted the train. Now, just a few days after Christmas and I am laying in the floor by a tight circle playing with my gift. I haven't had the room in this house to do a full set up. So the past few years have found me collecting up for a set to come in the future. I've missed the simple joy of setting up a few stops and playing with the train. One one side of my tight circle is a barn. The other side has my commercial green house set up. Four green houses and a shed office. Later I will be trying out some used engines that I've bought but haven't had a chance to run. I've missed this. Eventually I will build a layout with complexity and detail. Today, I'm just going to play with my trains. I hope you have all had holiday fun this year! Happy holidays.
