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.

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.

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 :-)
