The Granite Farms Estates Train Room is holding an Open House for the two days before and the two days after Christmas.
 |
This year we again had the Hallmark
Lionel train ornament tree |
 |
Open House means some kind of treat,
and COVID-19 means having to sign in |
But first, a photo from a year ago:
 |
| Bare mountain and bare walls |
 |
Bit by bit we are landscaping the mountain;
many thanks to Bob L who donated most of the trees
and will be donating more |
 |
We have recently added backdrop photo murals, thanks
to money provided by the Residents Association |
 |
| The Open House host, Walt H, mans the controls |
 |
| A steam locomotive pulls freight cars |
 |
Nicknamed "Three-finger Mountain," the hillside
landscape will include all seasons |
 |
| The freight train enters the tunnel |
 |
| Where the trains exit the tunnel, there is a coal mine |
 |
The backdrop is the back of a city street, and we
see the "other side" of the railroad tracks |
 |
The power company substation was
a challenging model to put together |
 |
A Pennsylvania Railroad/PRR diesel locomotive and
passenger cars are stopped at the train station |
 |
| A river disappears under "Main Street" |

It looks great! So glad I was able to see it in person. Love those 50's era vechicles.
