Whaddya know? No woven web of deception, unexpected twists, and misunderstandings, but a breezy fun Christmas with a lazy and inexorable conclusion. Predictable, yes, but nicely done with a satisfying resolution, including a possible love triangle switcheroo thrown in.
Nice train stuff: several small HO scale pikes (not the three-rail O-scale careening plastic toys) as well as a miniature 4-4-4 1870s locomotive and open passenger cars - which apparently is... soundlessly electric? It's not steam, nor is there the sound of a gasoline engine, and much of the story involves train enthusiasts working together, though only two are featured. It'd be nice if there was a female train nut / mechanic, too.
Protagonist is a strong, successful, determined, tech-savvy web designer woman, divorced, with (of course) a gee-that's-SWELL moppet boy. And the love interest is a train guy / handyman, needing help getting his hobby shop into the 21st century, not too badly scraggle-bearded, though he does have a low bass/baritone voice difficult to hear. The woman is the engine that could, of course, and the guy is bedazzled with her and pretty much goes along for the ride.
