WP668 and the Conductor Ducks

Our backyard caboose, WP668, looked good for Saturday's Silicon Valley Lines (SVL) model train club Christmas party. John put up the Western Pacific herald on the new metal plate he welded to WP668's side, then added Christmas lights too.

I bought train-theme party supplies from the Oriental Trading company, including small plastic Conductor Ducks for giveaways. One of our Christmas traditions is to set up my G-scale railway track in the living room. (I am collecting G-scale rolling stock and track for when I build my garden railway next to WP668.) The Conductor Ducks were a popular party favor and were given many G-scale train rides during the SVL party.
