I finally moved out of my parents house and it is a couple of months before Christmas. I thought to myself, I want a Model Train Set for around the Christmas tree. I’ve always seen them on display at the store and in catalogs, but we never had one at the house. My parents had a cat and a dog and felt the animals would attack the trains if you turned it on. I was conversing with my roommate and brought the idea up to him and he thought it was a glorious idea. He even offered to split the cost with me!
