Mao The Tank Engine

We recently visited the Beijing Train Museum. Luke is big fan of Thomas and trains in general. If you are ever in Beijing, save your 20 RMB ($2.50 USD). Don't go. We were the only visitors when we went to the warehouse full of trains. Unless you are a real train afficianado, they all look pretty much the same. They did have Mao's personal train engine and Zhou Enlai's personal sleeper car, though. As an added bonus, at the gift counter, they sold the same cheap toy trains they sell at the markets at a 300% markup.
