In this episode, host Chris Chianelli visits The Strasburg Railroad in Strasburg, Pennsylvania. This historic railroad is set against the backdrop of Amish country-rolling hills and sweeping farms. Later in the program, Chris visits The Choo-Choo Barn-a massive O-gauge layout just down the road in Strasburg. This layout features hundreds of animations and recreates Lancaster County and some whimsical Amish elements. Then, Chris Chianelli is joined in the studio by guest Kent Johnson (Associate Editor, Classic Toy Trains Magazine). Kent shares tips on how to create animations on any O-gauge layout. Some of these animations come ready to go, right out of the box. Others require some basic installation. Animation can bring a lot of life and action to a model train layout.
