My son, Chris, at age nine building a complex Lego model that he received for Christmas, 2004.
The following two photos show Chris' final product, a Canadian Railway, Royal Hudson that still adorns the ledge in our basement train room today. It took Chris most of the week between Christmas and the New Year to complete the project. He had no help from anyone in this creation. A belated Bravo to Chris!
Meanwhile, on the Great Northeastern Railway's tracks, a 3-unit B&O F-3 diesel is finished on the service track and leaving on its day's assignment.
