Running Some Trains

It is always fun playing with trains with Lukey and, as much as I enjoy playing with trains myself, it is perhaps even more fun watching Lukey play with trains! On this particular day this past weekend, I was able to shoot some photos as well as some video of Lukey as he played.

The grandkids were at our house through the weekend again so that allowed me to get some nice photos of them in action (some photos of Kenzie will be added in another blog entry). Lukey will be back this weekend to run some trains again. This weekend, however, we'll be running Lukey's HO scale trains and giving some of my narrow gauge trains a run (these narrow gauge trains can run on Lukey's HO scale layout).  

This past weekend, Lukey and I played with my newly upgraded O scale Hudson steam locomotive. The track was sprawled out across the living room, around the coffee table and then under the coffee table. 

He seemed impressed with all the upgrades which made playing a lot more interesting. The controller for this upgraded locomotive is a rather complicated one but even more so for someone who cannot read the label on each button! Lukey seems to have a good memory for this type of stuff though. He had no problem running my locomotive through it's paces and I captured some decent photos of him!













In a very short time, we created quite a low-hanging smoke cloud throughout the living room!


Lukey always has a couple of airplanes on hand to provide air support for the train.
