WP668 and the Conductor Ducks

Our backyard caboose, WP668, looked
good for Saturday’s
Silicon Valley Lines (SVL) model train club Christmas party. John
put up the
Western Pacific herald on the new metal plate he welded to WP668’s side,
then added Christmas lights too.

I bought train-theme party supplies from the

Oriental Trading company, including small plastic Conductor Ducks for
giveaways. One of our Christmas traditions is to set up my G-scale railway
track in the living room. (I am collecting G-scale rolling stock and
track for when I build my garden railway next to WP668.) The Conductor Ducks
were a popular party favor and were given many G-scale train rides during
the SVL party.
