Called the Candy Land Express for a reason! I pull the plastic coal loads from a 12 car set of coal hoppers and replace with soft peppermint candy. Stopping the train so the kids can grab a piece, if Mom and Dad OK it! Parents too, if they wish! Time to start pulling, and testing locomotives for the show! Gotta make sure my internal batteries,for the sound systems, are working OK.
