A Train Set In The Attic

Those of you not from Halifax, NS, you may be interested to hear that there is a wonderful model train set situated on the ground floor of the IWK Children's Hospital. 
     Not only is there a model train, but the entire ward has been outfitted with train symbology: everything from train track floor tiles, to information fliers on the Trans Canada railway tours stapled to the walls.

Charlotte is lucky enough to have an Uncle and Aunt with just as impressive a train set in the attic of their house. Co-incidentally, this particular model was painstakingly assembled by David who also happens to volunteer his time looking after the model train set at the IWK.

A quick peek at Charlotte enjoying her Uncle David's very own personal train station.

     If model trains interest you, then check out the short video I borrowed below, of the setup at the hospital--from the image above, you can see they have recently introduced a model helicopter.

The trains run from 9 to 11am Monday to Friday. Note: Above film taken Feb 16, 2011.
