OGT DAILY Day Three Hundred and Sixteen MODEL TRAINS

So we have a new holiday ritual now.   One that I was never aware of even after being a New Yorker for some 30+ years....Model Trains at the Botanical Gardens.  What a spectacle!   Not only were there model trains moving through the lush tropical gardens of the conservatory building, all in a G gauge or large scale, but the trains wended past and through realistic recreations of NY landmark buildings all built from bark, twigs, moss and seed pods from the Gardens.    This is an experience of pure delight, especially when surrounded by holiday trees dressed for the season in snowflakes, lights and stars.

Thanks to out of town visitors from California - or we would have never gone!
