From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The train display features over 150 hand-built animated figures and vehicles and 22 operating trains.
This train layout has grown into an attraction for all ages and all groups...you don't need to be a model railroading enthusiast to enjoy the scenery and animations presented on this display. The display continues to re-open each spring, and Tom Groff and his talented team continue to add, update, clean, renovate, and restore the display, so there's something new to see every year.
Visitors won't want to miss the signature fire scene - where the fire truck leaves the firehouse to arrive at a burning home. The firemen disembark the truck to rush to the aid of the homeowners, squirting REAL water on the fire. Their mission is accomplished, and they happily return on the truck to the fire station.
Hand-built animations such as this are what make the Choo Choo Barn unique. This display pays homage to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania - with miniature replicas of The Willows Restaurant, Dutch Wonderland amusement park, the Strasburg Railroad, and even a scale version of the Groff family home. More than just a train display, the Choo Choo Barn is a real work of art - handcrafted year after year by Tom Groff in an effort to keep tradition alive. |
