Spencer Shops

We went to the NC Transportation Museum today.


Sure, we rode the train. Sure, we had a picnic lunch the midst of a thunderstorm. Sure, we rode the turntable. Sure we got to see more than 30 train locos and rolling stock. Sure we got to watch them working on an old passenger car.





But nothing, Nothing, NOTHING compares to see the collection of die-cast models of fire and police and rescue vehicles in the "Bumper-to-Bumper" exhibit. Eli especially was in total bliss. Sure, we have more: at least a hundred as reported in Briggs' quest for 100-something in K-garten. But these were in pristine condition, artfully displayed. The boys were in awe!
