Wow, those little cars put any cog railway to shame with their climbing abilities!Okay, I first posted this in "The Things That Make You Smile" thread in the Observation Bar, but then thought, hey it might be more appreciated over here. Not our usually type of train offering, but I love the little fella.
How freakin' awesome is this little guy. Very throwback feeling technology:

This definitely brought a smile to my face. I just want to see it run with books in it. A trip to the library will have to happen soon.

This get the old hart pumping. God I love steam!
