Train under the Christmas tree

My parents would never let us have one, but my uncle did. He was a big model railroader, and a full blown foamer. He's the reason I ride the rails for a living now, Amanda and I are starting the tradition this year with our kids now that they're old enough. It's not set up yet, but I'm working on it. Below is a pic of our 844 steamer at work, I got to pilot it a few weeks back. I got lucky, my wife pulled the kids out of school and grabbed the camrea and they came to watch us drag out.
