I setup a Train at the Beach

The other day I took a train to the beach and set up a loop of track and ran a LGB Porter with battery and Piko RC. I have done this over the last several years and it always draws curious kids of all ages. This time 2 kids joined in to “help”. I didn’t understand what the girls name was but she kept saying “Pitter Pat” each time she placed a bottle cap on and off the train so I called her that.

Here is the video.

Many moons ago, I read about a rock group in the UK, one of the members being a train fan. He set up a lot of straight track segments in N scale and stored them in the back of a van. The article described a trip to a beach [flat, tidal beach,] where the segments were unloaded and fastened end to end, making a straight run of about 1/4 mile!
