The Trains at the Christmas Gift Shop
The Pinestead Railroad surrounds the Christmas Gift Shop, looping more than 320 feet of track for our large scale, LGB G-gauge garden railroad system.
We have four complete trains, with 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 addition is a three dimensional, lighted rendition of the Minneapolis skyline--Metrodome, IDS tower, Foshay tower, and more--all fronted by the Stone Arch Bridge.
The trains are running anytime the Christmas Gift Shop is open, and we invite 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.
