Thanks Brian-
We have an I-Spy sheet for the kids, which seems to be a highlight as well as the opportunity to run the Lionel hand held remotes. We hand the remotes to kids. They love it.
We don't have any high end engines or super detailed scenery. It's too hard, considering this in not a permanent layout and its not modular. We 100% set up in October & November & 100% tear down in January. One fella was miffed that we had a Wabash engine pulling PRR boxcars. Well, it's what we had. Not a single complaint from the kids, they don't care- they love finding the hidden things and seeing the trains run. I would love to have a string of Giraffe Cars, but again- we don't charge admission, so making big purchases like that won't happen.

It's just a hometown display for hometown folks, giving them a no cost option to get their families out for some Christmas Activities. We have fun, and as long as I can coordinate the set up, as long as people keep donating cookies and as long as folks come out, we will continue this tradition- 5 years running now.20171110_11204220171110_11205120171202_13222720171202_16404020171207_19220820171207_192857
