Trains in a Restaurant?!

We went to dinner tonight at a place that had a train on a track high above the dining room.  Thomas was fascinated ... but it wasn't moving at all :(

"I think it's going to start moving soon."

After a suggestion to ask the waitress if the train moved at all (assuming that the answer would be 'no'), Thomas did ask if it moved and the waitress said she'd get 'them' to turn it on.  Then the real watching and waiting began ... and then ...

"It's moving!" Then we had to figure out where and how the track were laid out, so that the two trains, going in opposite directions never ran into each other.  It was great for us all!

How fun! We used to have a restaurant in Ellicott City that had trains on tracks above the dining area. Was always fun to watch! I'll have to send y'all pix of our fire dept's train set up at Christmas ... that is unless y'all wanna come see it in person...!!
