Model Railroading > Christmas trains ready to go

My local model railroad club set up the trains for Christmas today.  This is the 22nd year for the display.  
This is the largest number of members to date.  We stand at 15.  We also have three wives involved in the club.
The display is in Martinsville IN just south of Indianapolis.  The KeyBank did a lobby remodel and I was not sure it would fit the new arrangement.  It did.
We sell advertising at $50 for a sign and a sign on a box  car.  $100 gets you a building or other structure.  That is a trip jar in the last photo and last year it brought in about $125. We use the money to restock and replace worn out equipment.  The track has been replace twice now.  You can actually see the worn outside rails and beat down frog points after about 8 to 10 years.  The trains run nonstop during bank lobby hours.
We won the best stop on the local cookie stroll last year.
