O Gauge Model Trains with a Christmas/Winter Holidays Tilt.

Sam Miller and Linda Medlin, with the support of the Big Bend Model Railroad Association, are once again hosting Winter Holidays Model Trains.

They are opening up a two-car garage, with a Christmas-themed Lionel/MTH O Gauge layout.

This includes carnival rides, a Christmas festival and holiday-decorated model trains. BBMRA members will also operate a Garden Railroad oval and an HO, hands-on, switching layout for adventurous young engineers.
