Every year some friends of mine set up a fairly large model train set during Christmas. This is set up in their backyard, and I believe the scale is 1:19.
The admission is 5 cans of food goods, and this is donated to the local food pantry which helps famalies in need.
Throughout the set there are hidden objects that the little kids search for and find such as: a wolf, eagle, elve, baby jesus, snowman, rooster...once they find everything they turn in their checklist and win a candycane.
This year they had a live band playing Christmas Classics, and the atmosphere was great.
I've uploaded some pictures to my website for you all to enjoy, of special note is the U.S. Army Transportation Corps boxcar. Although all branches of the service were represented, I only added the photo of this boxcar since the majority on PS.com are U.S. Army.
If you click on the picture it will take you to a larger version. I used my phone camera, so the quality isn't that great, but still enjoyable.
Merry Christmas all, stay safe!
