For years as a child, one of these with two coaches ran around a loop of track under our Christmas tree. On one side there was a residential neighborhood made up of dimestore paper homes painted pastel colors and frosted with glitter. The streets were made with Morton's Table Salt carefully poured out to connect them all and traversed by TinkerToy cars.
On the other side, 1:48 scale Union and Confederate forces fought at Antiedam over a Plasticville wood truss bridge nestled in a Life-Like lichen forest and Life-Like green sawdust grass.
While not a model father, Pop did pass on a love for our country's history and model trains. This is posted in his honor, the fifth Christmas since his passing.
