Max just loves to be out in the garage and he loves the trains already.... There will be plenty more for him to play with as time goes by. Cheer...

Hey Group. Well here are a couple of pictures from the New Years Day Chili run at GGLS up in the Oakland Hills of California. My little boy Maxwell is just at 5 1/2 months old and we thought it might be good to get him out on the track! So I made a custom little seat for him on the riding car and we...
