SuperTrain

Today Ethan and I spend the morning at SuperTrain, a model train show here in Calgary. Ethan was transported into seventh heaven, completely in his glory. He would have happily never come home. Here are a few pictures and a video:




Dad, do you recognize this guy? You delivered milk to him when you were a boy (some would say you are still boyish, but details aside...) He built the train himself over several years and it actually drives on an electric motor. The water tower is modeled after the one at Glenboro, MB, which apparently burnt down over the past year.

And here is a short video which shows how very thrilled Ethan was:

Looks like both of you were having lots of fun!! That Plett character is probably Walter Plett's brother -- thier Dad was Peter A. Plett and Dad used to deliver milk to their place on horseback -- (he hated that horse, but anyway...). I'll make sure he reads your blog when he comes in. Thanks for the pics!
