When Wolf was three he started to watch Thomas the Train and like many other little boys he loved Thomas and trains in general. I of course being the overindulgent dad that I am searched far and wide for things that fit in his current likes. Luckily enough one of the best things around happened to be local. In Torrance at Charles Wilson Park is the location of the Southern Calif Live Steamers club. It’s a 1 mile run of 7.25 scale train that takes visitors from one end of the park to the other and back again. It really is an awesome ride and the kids love it. I have lived in the Southbay nearly my whole life and was unaware of this treasure till Wolfie came along.
Since then we have gone on many rides and even took Brown Bear on it for his weekend with us.
You can climb aboard for a ride the first Sunday and the third Saturday of each month.
We will probably be attending this weekend and hope some of Wolfie’s classmates and friends are also able to attend.
