maybe look thought a place like sharper image or brookstone.. they have gadet-y things. maybe there is a clock like the bird clock that makes train sounds instead of birds.. try google train gifts and see if there is anything you haven’t thought of.

http://www.denverunionstation.org/pro… you may not be able to buy from the internet but you can use it for this idea

go to sites like the one above it is the Denver Union Station history link, and put together a “virtual tour” of famous railroad history.

Include the golden spike, the first trains in America, in the world, a bank robbery, things like that. record you voice if you have that capability and put it on cd if you can.

include a basket of treats (popcorn, drinks etc) to enjoy the show with and you Father will love it (his favorite treats not yours!)
