Plasticville at Night – Toy Trains for Christmas

Plasticville at Night - My Brother-in-laws house - Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania - November 29, 2008


Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania - November 29, 2008

My brother-in-law, Bob, kept the family tradition of setting up “some” of his trains for Christmas. He started every Thanksgiving to “put up the trains.”

This shot of my wife and sister-in-law (Arlene and Inez) was taken on this date, seventeen years ago.

I’m glad I found this as Bob would have been working on his platform now, he did it every year. We lost Bob in December of 2015. Inez is gone, also. They will be greatly missed.

When I look at this picture, I feel the joy. It’s a special time for the DeMatto family… What a great tradition.
