Have you ever been to a train show? Well, next time you hear of one, go, and if you have kids or grand kids, take them along. I even think your adult son or daughter would get a kick out of it, too, or shall I say toot, toot?

I’ve found a new hobby. Does Amazon sell train conductor garb for females?
