Trains for Kids room
Next Saturday, 3/14, we start the major upgrade to the Trains for Kids room and so it will be out of action for about a month. We hope to have it working again by mid April. The main layout is coming along and we do have some limited trains running when we are not working on the track. Please stop by and see the progress.
