I wonder whose basement they’re going to run it in. (Too big to run under my Christmas tree — but now that I’m thinking about it . . . .)

That depends on the size of the Christmas tree.

European trains look wimpy to me... I like good American made Steam locomotives:

This one's in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C.

And this one, the Governor Stanford, is in the
California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento

Then there's this Union Pacific Big Boy, used to
haul freight up the Sierra Mountains. It's in Pomona, CA.

These locomotives are not wimpy.

Notice the row houses in the background. I was wondering where they would be able to run it.

Then, on the other hand, you wouldn't need such a large basement if you went with trains like those a friend of mine has on his layout.
