Alex, how did you manage to shrink the tiger that much?

WOW! Are those the same shorts too? I love trains as well and also have some toy trains that I used to bring out every Christmas.

That child has a sense of wonder, joy, and capacity for happiness that we adults need.

We all know that a little boy still lives in all of us men.

Our toys are just more expensive now.

I too, have great nostalgia for the steam locomotives. Once I even got the chance to ride on a restored Baldwin decapod. . . It was the most bone jarring, hearing destroying half hour of my life! It is easy to see why they lost out to the diesel electrics, but still. . . . . I love the sound of the steam whistle off in the distance.

That's neat, Alex. I think it's great that you've kept the leopard all these years.

Great to see you renewing your youth !

Great shots Alex good to see you as a boy, I well remember having a train go round the Christmas tree in years past, I suppose it's one of those interests that stays with you. The next time you are in Toronto remind me to take you to George's Trains.
