The Trains at the Christmas Gift Shop
Notice -- a short video of the trains taken just ahead of our season opening has been posted on YouTube. Search on pinesteadtreefarms (all one word) and view "Pinestead Railroad 2011".
The Pinestead Railroad surrounds the Christmas Gift Shop, looping more than 320 feet of track for our large scale, G-gauge garden railroad system.
We have two trains running at a given time, going through a 12 foot tunnel, up mountains, across two six foot bridges, and through a covered bridge alongside a real waterfall.
Families 
love to see the new Santa cars as they journey through the Christmas Village.
The newest additions are a three dimensional, lighted rendition of the Minneapolis skyline--Metrodome, IDS tower, Foshay tower, and more--all fronted by the Stone Arch Bridge: and an eight foot double arched bridge over our new gas warming fireplace..
The trains are running anytime the Christmas Gift Shop is open, and we invite train lovers and other model railroad enthusiasts to stop by anytime—no purchase is necessary.
A video of the trains in action has been posted on You Tube. Search on pinesteadtreefarms and play the video entitled PINESTEAD MODEL TRAINS.
