Lionel engine #1644 is coming down the track

This 1941 Lionel electric train belonged to grampa Russell when he was boy.  We were able to have it repaired (we had to send it out to a specialist in Michigan when the local Lionel dealer didn't have the parts to fix it) and now it's happily chugging under the Christmas tree to the delight of both kids.
(Here is shown the engine, tender (which has the whistle) Sunnoco and Baby Ruth cars, it's a bit slow when we have all the cars attached, we'll have to figure out how to fix that so we can add the caboose).
