So which trolleys are your favorite, Shelly?

Recently Fran and I took our grandsons Sammy and Joey on subway and trolley rides. What fun! We play with model trolleys in my study in the condo. I would say that my favorite trolleys are those that operate on my lay-outs without breaking down. Sammy wants a train for his birthday. We intend to take Sammy and Joey to visit Seashore Trolley Museum in Maine. All Aboard!
