Now that is excellent. Very commendable. If I switch to Atlas for my permanent layout, think I might do the same thing with the Polar Express at the local assisted living. I'm sure they would love it.

I personally think having a small O Layout at an Assisted Living place is a GREAT idea.

However, the Polar Express has a "sad" whistle and is not a great smoker.

I'd find 'em an older MTH (I have an AT&SF engine with a 605 tender) that smokes great and sounds good and loud, using a MTH Z1000 basic transfer. Use all Fastrack for the track. No switches if possible. Get some lamps and accessories and an old KW transformer for running them. Those folks would probably really enjoy it. Maybe even go prewar tinplate O! That wonderful 1930s Lionel stuff they would remember!
