Tania, Stephanie, and Madalaine - The Biggest Train

I finally unearthed this older Lionel larger scale train set for my girls to play with. I've been meaning to do this story for a while, but the set wasn't easily accessible. It is now, so here it goes!

Thank you! I figured since there was a bunch of Momoko doll content in this one, I'd share it here. I'm glad you found it and enjoyed it I'm sorry you were startled by the horn Honestly, I forgot it made a horn sound. This is the first time I've had the train out in over 20 years.

 

Thank you! It was fun, and it wasn't as difficult as I remembered. I saw that we had a decent amount of space in the living room yesterday, so I went for it with the train set. I didn't even use two of the straight track pieces in the set. I could've made it fit in the floor space, but I didn't use them anyway. Actually, they were somewhere else in the box and I didn't know they were in there until I was already done

 

Thank you, Edell My girls had a lot of fun with the train I love them so much

 

Well, I knew where it was. It was just hard to get to. I was going to do this photostory last year. But wait for the POG photostory for things that have been stashed away for 25 years

Thank you, Hobby I'm glad you liked the story

 

Thank you! I'm glad you loved the photos. I love doing little photostories like this. And you're welcome for the inspiration I hope you set up your N scale trains and share some photos sometime. I hear you about the space. We pretty much just have the HO scale train that goes around the Christmas tree every year since the space is already being taken up. I believe the train in this story is O scale. It was literally in its box for over 20 years. I only had it out of the box for a couple hours at most

Thank you very much I'm glad you enjoyed another one of my daughter photostories. And yes, there's Madalaine! She's a Momoko Doll Lacy Modernist. She's the oldest of the three in terms of maturity, and I've had her the longest. She was my first dolly daughter I know the scale difference is unusual, but my daughters all belong together no matter what size they are I really had to do a lot of work with the posing in this story, too. It's difficult when working with train pieces! Of course, Madalaine with her fashion doll body did the least amount of work even though it's the easiest for her to hold poses. She did a lot of work on the Christmas train a couple months earlier, so she was taking a break this time. Overall, I just wanted to take sweet photos of my dolly daughters having fun The train was a fun activity for them.

 

I'm glad you find the size difference to your liking. Tania and Madalaine spent a lot of time together being sisters with the size difference. It was so cute! For the train, it was also good to have the different dolls enjoy the train in different ways. Of course Madalaine is smaller and can get into more trouble I loved letting her ride on the engine after the train was done. I thought the set had a hopper, but it didn't. I may have to get a secondhand hopper for cheap. It's a sort of bucket on a train car, so Madalaine would sit inside it.

Thank you for your compliments. This Daddy really appreciates it

 

Maybe I'll have a hopper by the time I get the train set out again. Considering how it was in its box under my bed for about 20 years, who knows? It might be 2045 before I use it again Oh no, I think I hear Madalaine rustling around, trying to get to the train set
