Have you been to Dollywood? I went there a couple of years ago and rode their narrow gauge train pulled by a former Alaskan RR Mikado. In fact, I rode on a special bench seat in the front of the tender. You have to line up when they pull the train out and sign up for the tender ride. I even have a DVD with the ride including the fireman stoking and shoveling the coal in. It was a little warm, but I didn't care. IF you get there real early, you can watch them servicing the engine and my brother and I toured the shop. It was a trip to remember. The rest of the park is the usual rides, etc. Makes me wish the Lionel Mikado had scale wheels, I'd have one.
