We popped by Legacy Station this weekend to pickup our pre-ordered MTH Railking Stone Mountain Railroad GP9 and ended up with a few more items we just couldn’t say no to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Stone Mountain Railroad was an iconic part of my childhood, as it’s a small tourist railroad that runs around the geographic landmark of “Stone Mountain” (made famous in more recent years by “Kenneth” from 30 Rock).

Woodland Scenics watertower to give Slottown Citizens fresh drinking water<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Canadian Pacific Holiday Train<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
