    Wow! I was 5 years old!

    I never thought I would ever see that again! It was an electric train on a beautifully painted 4X8 foot plywood board that represented a Popeye boat building factory my Dad created out of card mat board. It had a steam engine and a night lite Popeye sign on one of the smoke stacks. He made a long bridge for the train to go through over a painted river with lilly pad detail.

    The track made a figure eight connected with one straight side with two switches allowing the train to change directions and connect cars like in a real train situation. It had a double control transformer to allow 2 engines to run at the same time.

    As I remember how great it was I can remember how great my Dad was!
