On Saturday, Silas and I rode the model trains in Costa Mesa.  There is a very cool park in Costa Mesa called Fairview Park.  It’s a wide open space on the edge of the Costa Mesa plateau.  A non-profit group that built several miles of model railroad track.  Every third weekend of the month the group of friendly, mostly gray-haired model engineers give free train rides on 6 or 7 gas powered trains.  They are about a 10th the size of a full-train.  15 riders per train straddle special cars.  It’s a little boys dream, and Silas is very into it.  This weekend they had Santa setup at a special mid-route station.
