Thanks for the update - still praying! Did you paint a train to go arround that tree?

This is a friendly and family site with a passion for trains and good will! I prefaced what I want to say with that statement because of the Statement that is to follow! I don't understand why anyone who posts don't have their name and location in their profile? You don't have to have your...
