Thanks one and all, it's a lot of fun. He's at the age that within an hour he's asked 101 questions and just soaks all the answers in.

Way to go Jim ..... get them fully corrupted at the earliest age possible!!!   ;c)

BTW, we have a really cool and classic old mining ghost town not too far from here named "Bodie", which is seemingly pronounced about the same as your Bohdi.

First Steam up with my youngest Grandson Bodhi who is 3.5 years old. The engine is a MF Twin and its serial number is 34, this was a limited edition run of 100 engines and it's running an old Fleischmann Blacksmith. It's really fun to get the younger generation involved with steam, my older Grandson Jimmy is hooked on steam engines, and I think he will always have a passion for them.
Looking forward to more steam days with Bodhi  :)
