This weekend our interurban group will be running vintage Christmas trips bringing the families for a short ride from the station down the line and back into the car barn to see "Father Christmas Workshop". I set up my 2nd model railway for the holidays, a 8x12 foot layout with 3 loops of O and 1 of On30 some cardboard buildings and a couple of animated accessories. The outer loop has a Great Northern Steamer similar to what ran on the Great Northern Rail Line that originally ran nearby and had a station next to the Interurban line as a connection to the valley. Trying to keep the early 1900's theme. Santa's elves are working on wooden trains on the work benches. There are now 4 Vintage Interurban cars in the fleet; details on the website for the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway. Click on a photo for larger views.
