Time To Add Another Track To The Backyard?

We spent yesterday at Hill Ridge Farms in Youngsville, where a friend of Hallie’s had her birthday party.

One of the attractions at Hill Ridge is their train rides, on a circular (and a bit dull) 16 gauge track that loops around the property.

I couldn’t help but think how if I owned a train I would do it so much better. Now I’m looking into what it would take to put one of these in the backyard. I mean, who wouldn’t want their own EMD locomotive?

Well, my wife, for one, but a guy can dream, can’t he? At least its smaller than the fire truck I’ve been threatening to buy.
