Gary Crawford's HO and G Scale Railroads


From the beginning of the show, Gary Crawford has brought two portable layouts and has set up an impromptu G scale pike.  They are part of every show.  The HO railway showcases a tongue0-in-cheek look at New Jersey, along with a very realistic model engine shop.  The G scale pike is a place to show antiques and vintage items from Yuletides past.

Gary's HO railway conveys some local lore.  The train has a Jersey Central loco and caboose with cars from various New Jersey railroads.

A construction scene.  There are many of them in this region!

An active member of the Pine Creek Railroad at Allaire State Park, Gary imparted his expertise to real railroading in this scene. The open-topped Engine house allows visitors to see the inside with its realistic details.

A humorous take on an old joke about New Jersey's dark side.  The body in the trunk may seem out of place at Yule, but it always gets a laugh.

The G Scale pike si where Gary displays many classic items along with an attractive train.

Characters fro ma "A Christmas Story," one of the most popular movies for the Yule season.  

Gary and Amy are behind this unique wooden train.
