Train show 2011, Live Wire Train Town

This is the 2nd of the 3 train posts.
Most of the set-ups are the work of train clubs... here's a sample..

The club members are enthusiastic and fun... and fascinating individuals with rich life stories. They are happy to answer your questions about the trains...
This club's trains run on electric current from the thin wires over the trains. The set-up re-creates the 1940s with all sorts of authentic details... and some quirky humor too. You could spend hours just taking photos and creating your own storyboards for a train tale....

The movie theater is playing "Streetcar Named Desire"...
Check out the lower window below...
and top side is the entrance...
for the SUBWAY STATION...
with its own running train...
Since the subway view is at kids-eye level.. they usually find it first :)
This is the train town's downtown..

good thing there are cops on duty...
because a few blocks away, there's this shoot-out in the alley...
not to mention, the "sewer rat"...
Can you spot the dinosaur guarding the orange grove...
The stockyard has lots of fun details...
some foreign flair near the oil rig....
The chain gang's hard at work...
There's drama on the bridge...
and a parked car w/ lovers at the graveyard...
Bet this diner's seen it all...
What a show!
