Respectable gingerbread train yard - steinjr - 12-16-2011
Today at Oslo Central RR station they had a gingerbread train project, which quite a few kids (and adults) have taken part in. The yard ended up having a total of 617 cars and engines, about 670 feet of length total.

Who gets to take these home and eat them? Crazy, but unique

Respectable? I'd say AMAZING!!! Where are the switch lists? Let's get those cars rolling to dining room tables!

LOL - soon there will be a pepper "shortage", too - giving the media another non-event to bellyache about :-)
Don and Ralph - I don't know who gets the cars after Christmas - I would think probably the families of the small children who has helped make and decorate them.
But it was a cool idea to do something related to trains.

Along the same lines as this thread,, we baked a "G" scale ( as in gingerbread ) version of the CNJ's Blue Commit.
Re: Respectable gingerbread train yard - steinjr - 12-18-2011
LOL - love the "G scale" cars !
Guess the one over here would be P scale - (Gingerbread train is "pepperkaketog" - "pepper cake train" in Norwegian). Not sure that P scale sounds quite as good as G scale :-)
