The Conductor
















Watching Madeline orchestrate her trains always leave me in awe. She reminds me of an air traffic controller, timing when to send off her trains based on their speed and what coaches they're carrying and running around the track to fix any disabled trains. Let me tell you, the proud look on her face when her trains are "punching along" is to die for.

Too fun! Neil's family still takes out their train set each Christmas and puts it together. (It's not as cute when the youngest person playing is 29).

It is so in her blood - Grampa Sundstrom is channeling his Engineer self through Maddie!
