Choo choo

We spent the morning at the Twin City Model Railroad Museum watching the trains race through tiny towns, across delicate bridges, and through a series of amazingly intricate scenes. Evelyn's jaw dropped (literally) when she saw the trains chugging along the tracks. 
 



In the Toy Train Division there were plenty of opportunities for Evelyn to push buttons and watch the scenes come to life. The crowd favorite was the miniature amusement park, complete with a roller coaster that captured the attention of all who passed by.
 
Evelyn had the pleasure of being a conductor and operating a toy train. She did not hesitate to push the little engine full steam ahead. She thought that was pretty exciting...but not as fun as getting her hands on the Brio train set.
