Yesterday was OERM's Veterans Day Out With Thomas and, besides the Thomas Train and a three caboose Caboose Train, these beauties ran on the trolley loop..

Thanks for sharing.

We also had LARy "Huntington Standard" 665 setting outside the carbarn on the ladder track.

When Orange Empire does Thomas and the HIT required activities we also include have the caboose train and the streetcars. And we have several of our buildings within the core area open, including the LARY carbarn open for viewing and we have visiting modular model train layouts inside the 3' gauge "Grizzly Flats Enginehouse."

And our own Museum Store is operated separate from the Thomas store. All Thomas items are only available in the Thomas store.

And oh, Thursday we had a total of about 5,000+ pre-sold and walk-up tickets.

And beauties they are! Keep up the great work. Can't wait for my next visit to OERM to ride these cars, especially PE No. 717 on the main line.

Thanks!
