[PRCo] Pittsburgh......Where Model Trains and Dinosaurs Roam

[PC]

I particularly like the last 2-photos Mr.Brannon.  I have been watching for some modeler to put a trolley pole on same.

 This past Sunday was the last day for the Winter Show at Phipps
 Conservatory. I figured I had better get there if I wanted to see the
 garden railway which is always part of the Winter Show. This year the theme
 of the railway was the "Phipps Dinosaur Park", modeled after
 the park in the three "Jurassic Park" movies.
 
 The attached photos are of the garden railway which included
 a model of an active volcano. All the landscape plants and ground covers
 are real plants.
 It is, after all, the Phipps Conservatory. This years layout
 was a more "whimsical" version of the railway.
 
 Hopefully the photos will not cause distress to the server
 for The List. If there are too many for the server to handle I will send some
 in a second post.
