Toy train museum

Yesterday we went to the coolest place, a toy train operating museum in Tucson. We didn't even know it was here, and now we'll probably go every other weekend (which is the only time it's open). They had displays of three different sized model trains. I had forgotten how neat the details are, with the little towns and the people. First we watched the large sets like you see in the picture below, then Mason discovered a Thomas set that he could power himself and actually touch. At least no one yelled at us for touching them. He had a blast derailing Thomas then putting him back on the track and re-coupling the coaches. The kid did that for maybe an hour.

This was a real caboose we could enter and tour.
