Enjoyed the show with Hal and Chris. I have good memories of my first o gauge train set in the 50’s running around the Christmas tree. It was soon replaced by a small HO gauge layout that has grown to a 14×23 layout. Chris has a nice layout and it’s good to hear that his family and friends enjoy them too. Thanks Hal.
