]]> Christmas TrainSaturday, November 28th was the start of the 2009 – 2010 Night Trains season at the Twin City Model Railroad Museum in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Every year beginning on the first Saturday after Thanksgiving and running through the last Saturday in February, the Museum hosts it’s annual Night Trains event.

The event starts at 6 pm and lasts until 9 pm. For more information about Night Trains, visit the Twin City Model Railroad Museum’s Night Trains page on their website.

This was my first year at Night Trains and I made sure I was there to take pictures and videos. Unfortunately, I didn’t check before leaving home and found out after getting to the museum that my camera’s battery was dead. Doh!

Well I did get some videos, including videos of the special Christmas Train, so here they are:

]]> Last month, I told you about the “The Circus Moves by Rail” show at the Twin City Model Railroad Museum scheduled for October 10th and 11th and said that I would follow up by posting pictures of the event.

Well, I’m posting videos I took at the event! I’ll post pictures in another post.

The event was held at the Twin City Model Railroad Museum’s home turf at Bandana Square in Saint Paul and was attended by other groups, including C & R Circus, a group that specializes in HO and O scale circus modeling.

I hope you enjoy these videos.
