The old stuff

Back in 1983 my mom got a DT&I diesel engine for Christmas. It was mostly used for around the Christmas tree. Now it is 2013 and the engine is still up and running. My mom gave it to me when I was very little. I enjoyed it along with my other New York Central steam engine. Although it was having trouble running and at one point it stopped working! After a few years I did nothing about it. I basically just forgot about it. Then my mom heard about a man who fixes electric trains. He told us to bring it in so he could look at and see what he could do about it. We left it there for about a week. We came back and it was fixed and in good condition ready to run! It was amazing that a man could fix an electric train made in 1983! I was very happy and excited that it could finally run!
