It’s Christmas Eve 1940. I have a PRR passenger train and another train (coal or freight, it alternates every year). I have painted some Lionel rolling stock and added PRR decals to make most the cars a Pennsy theme. My cars and trucks are all “old time”. When I had enough space I even had an airstrip with authentic period airplanes. The locomotives are black coal burners…….no diesels in my Western PA town.
You might see a Christmas tree or Holy Family in there somewhere.
Merry Christmas!

You can buy the wood to make it from most £1 shops and you get a big roll tied with wire.
