Yaris Adventours

Well, I took one of the kiddies out for a Yaris/museum run. We went out to the Virginia Transportation Museum in Roanoke, VA. It was one hell of a good day and one of the high lights was the stunning collection of amazing trains you could climb over. I never realized just how big these monsters where!

LOL, the wheel behind the kid is over 6' tall. I would have really enjoyed watching that beast fly by in it's day.

That's awesome! Cool pictures! I personally love trains. Those old big steam engines are a sight to see, such character, class and mistique about them which makes them great IMO. I also like modern trains as well. Thanks for sharing, kind of jeolous, looks like fun!

Ever since I read The Waste Lands by S. King, trains kinda freak me out.
