A Southern engine would be nice and brings back memories. I remember those
clawing their way up from the Ohio river valley after they crossed at
Cincinnati. The house would quiver and shake, we would run out and stand on

Speaking of memories and Peabodys, my son Ross’ favorite toy as a 2 year old was
an HO Peabody hopper his uncle gave him. He took it with him everywhere he
went. Between Thomas and “Peabody!”, Ross was hooked on trains. Whenever we
were in the car and we saw a train we would both shout out (ahem, I still do
to this day:-) “choo-choo!”. Ross would get so excited that he’d quiver and
shake:-) Man. And now he’s almost 16...
