My neighbor across the street had a garage sale this weekend so I snuck across the street when the wife and kids weren't looking. I keep passing garage sales in my neighborhood thinking about all the O-gauge glory that could be hiding among the tables, but never stop. At this particular sale I caught a glimpse of O-27 out of the corner of my eye. What I found was a loop of track mounted to a green board and a box of trains with a $20 price tag on it. In the box were two American Flyer transformers, a MPC era freight set with an 1110 locomotive and a broken tender. And under all of that, a hidden gem for my young family...
Now it's not a lion chief set but my kids are loving it!
On a recent Eric's Trains video he talked about a small Bluetooth speaker. I bought one at home depot and I threw it in the cab of Thomas and played songs and sound effects for my kids as they played with the set. Not bad for a $20 garage sale purchase and a $10 speaker.
