Grandson visiting. We were running trains when for unkonwn reasons, crates were ejected from a boxcar causing a derailment. So, I ran the train around and just randomly sopped it to unload whatever crares reamined in the car and, no kidding, no staging, no Photoshopping...the crate was ejected and this happenned:
Knowing no one would believe us, my grandson decided to try and recreate it so we could video it. This was the result:
Then we ran the Acela:
He just turned 9. He's been running my trains since, maybe 2. He loves'm. Because of Covid he's in remote "no-learn" mode and today, whenever he has a break, he runs down to the train room and fires them up for as long as he has a break. I'm hopeful his love for trains will never end.
