OCALA, FL (352today.com) – You can almost hear the sounds… the hoarse whistle, the chug of the engine, and the clickety clack of the wheels on the rails. Those are the sonic memories of model trains at Christmas.
You’ll be able to enjoy them again soon as the College of Central Florida (CF) is figuratively calling, “All Aboard!!!”
CF is getting ready for its annual Trains at the Holidays exhibit.
The exhibit features model trains by the Ocala Model Railroaders’ Historic Preservation Society. They say it is a family favorite with moving train displays featuring holiday themes and local landmarks.
“The CF express has been chugging along for 27 years,” said Jim DeLawter, president of the model railroad organization. “The Ocala holiday tradition is a fun time for all ages.”
“They add to it every year and it’s always bigger and better!” said Jacqueline Bozman, gallery coordinator at the college.
The exhibition will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 16, through Friday, Dec. 29, with the exception of Christmas Day, Dec. 25. On Christmas Eve, the exhibit will be open noon to 3 p.m.
You’ll find the display at the CF Webber Gallery which is located at 3001 SW College Rd. in Ocala.
The exhibit is free to see.
