A 2019 Christmas Layout memory

The last 2 weeks I showed on overall view, one from the front left and one from the front right.  Today's is front center looking right and left.

I designed the scenery for the layout keeping in mind the number of youngsters that were expected to show up. 

On the left, there's a winter scene with Santa's house, a dino park that many kids called Jurassic park, and in the back a bum camp.

In the center is a zoo of sorts: snake pit, petting zoo, wild animal zoo, and a walkway for viewing.

On the right is a small Easter Bunny village with drive-in movie showing "The easter bunny is coming to town".

The plateau will be another week.

Great pics guys!   Here is my photo fun for this fine weekend.  Have a splendid weekend everyone! 

Rexall Drugstore area

The photographer caught GM's Train of Tomorrow departing the station heading to its next promotional stop.  It is mid-1949 and the train's 2-year U.S. tour is almost over.  After a few months in Chicago and at the Chicago Railroad Fair, the ToT will spend 2 months in Canada then return to Detroit where the cars will be sold into railroad service.  The E7 will return to the UP and be re-painted in UP yellow.

Love all the images everyone!

Shots from Kids Day in the Garden which means our 7 week run with our modular layout was over.....until next November....

It was estimated  that there were 700-800 kids and their families at the 4 hr event....

Have a great weekend.

Johan I'm glad you posted these photos of the interior.  I didn't realize the complexity of the load from the photos posted on the other thread.

Somewhere in the Bronx

RP, was "Somewhere in the Bronx" located inside "Somewhere in the Bronx" or in on of the other buildings of the BBG?

Postwar meets modern on my friend’s awesome layout.
