Hayes Train Special

Ohio History
Model Train Layout
The highlight of Hayes Museum at this time of year is a special Christmas exhibit called the Hayes Train Special. Chugging around an extensive snowy village layout were six model trains, ranging in size from (I’m guessing) O-scale to G-scale. The three-tiered layout measured a good twelve by twenty-four feet. It was completely amazing! Especially since it’s a mobile display—dismantled and set up at different sites regularly! I like this picture of the two trains whizzing by on the second level, with lighted houses on top.

Is that cotton they used for snow?

I think so, or the synthetic polyester form of cotton stuffing. It looks pretty real.
