Reminiscing of xmas as a kid

[169indy]

I still have my Set from Xmass-1974. We took the Amtrack Empire Builder #8 from Seattle to Spokane for a White Christmas and my Cousin Todd and I badgered our Fathers to NO END to get a pair of different Tyco sets! The Best part was Our "Uncle" was working the Mechanical Steam B unit as a "Traveling Mechanical Department Employee" operating the Heating Car Boilers and we were able to go up front of the train set to visit in the B units amongst all the Fire and piping's, Good Luck doing anything like that Now days.
