The Alaska Gov. Mansion held a Christmas open house. Polar Express theme, complete with Conductor punching tickets. Even had the Lionel Polar Express train running around a layout. Not sure who made the layout, just quick video on the news. looked pretty good.

Certainly very good publicity for our hobby. Good choice of the PE, Governor.

Cool link RK, This is a nice tradition for the governor of Alaska to do.

I got such a kick out of the story that I dropped an e-mail to Mark the author of the article. I tought it would be fun to let him know that people from all over the world are reading his work.
