No, I know it's new because it was sent directly from the company.

DH put it up around the tree this year (we have a gate around the tree since we have 3 little ones) and they love to sit and watch it run. We consider it a family heirloom.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking as well. We'll just treat it as a special train.

Thanks everyone!
