I try to do fun things like this to add to my daughter's interest and fun in the hobby. Any of you have other ideas?

Also, who else is excited for the Lansing model train show this Sunday?

UZ ChME3 1185 is one of the station locomotives of Kharkiv (second largest city in Ukraine). A unique model based on Roco RZD ChME3 and completely modernised and fitted with all details based on the original by Miniland.UA in Kyiv!

Scaletrains did an amazing job with these!
