in searching for a "burlington-northern-santa-fe" train for noah's tracks, i came across this wonderful website. not only do they have BNSF trains, but they also have the amtrak superliner, the pennsylvania railroad steam engine, and tons of diesel engines: canadian national, canadian pacific, chicago and northern western, louisville and nashville, missouri pacific, denver and rio grande, and more! i'm super excited about all these realistic trains, especially the ones that noah has already seen around town, like the BNSF freight trains and the amtrak superliner. i love the idea that he can play creatively with small versions of working machines that he can see in real life. i know the thomas trains are based on fun stories that most kids seem to love, but to me these real life trains are way cooler. hopefully we can slowly build up noah's collection. (or my collection, anyway!)

i love that you are posting these movies! such a nice way to see you guys. ; ) noah is so adorable.
if you get into the train thing - you should go visit my dad's house - he collects the large-ish o guage trains that he had as a kid and he is also very much into collecting the trains that run around that area - he has a little set up in his house with some cool toys from the 50s - not like those realistic train set ups you see, but with some really cool electromagnetic toys... maybe next time i visit you guys can come down from the great north to the mystical land of everett! ; )
