Hello,

Back again with you after another long absence on the forum ...

Our traditional Christmas Train Party will take place Tomorrow. I already have seen the cake prepared by Louise ... Exceptional ! I will post pictures Tomorrow.

Our beer train is back this year on a M-Track carpet layout with a new locomotive, which was a wish for the last 40 years !

So, stay tuned !

Pierre.

Crocodile is ref. # 39566. This locomotive was a wish for the last 40 years as I have written earlier. In fact, when I was a young boy, the Crocodile was unaffordable. So I wanted one of these legendary locomotive to haul our beer train ! Fortunately, she was delivered before our Train Party.

Thanks for the photos Pierre. All those beer cars running on the classic M track on the hardwood floor must make a beautiful Christmas sound!!

Cheers,
Brian.
