Wow is right. Impressive gifts from an impressive father. He appears to be someone that would get along well with everybody and would fit right in here at The Gauge.

That is one (or actually several) nice birthday gifts! I will hazard a guess that the memories are the best part...!

Oh, I almost forgot:
The UP thingie is a track recording car, made by Plasser & Theurer in Austria. I remember that I saw quite a similar looking vehicle in a railyard here in Switzerland.
Here is a pic of the most modern of these cars, the EM120. This on was built for the Long Island RR, and it measures track conditions at speeds up to 75 mph (120 km/h)!

Thank you so much for your kind comments.
I just made a new track plan extension to accommodate all my new buildings.
Thanks RailRon, for the answer to the strange engine mystery.
Soon I will be staring my new layout.
