Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Garden
This charming video showcases the New York Botanical Garden's Holiday Train Show currently on view through January 11 in The Bronx section of New York City. Last week, I had the wonderful experience of visiting Paul Busse, the creator of the display, at his workshop in Kentucky. I've been a fan of Busse's work for years. This particular masterpiece takes five 8-hour days and several people to complete.
If you ever get the chance to see Busse's work where all but the trains and the tracks are mostly made out of natural elements, do. You'll be enthralled. In the meantime, enjoy some of the magic here.
This clip is from a larger PBS documentary. It can be purchased at the Botanical Garden's gift shop.

I love trains! I don't know; there's just something about trains running around a Christmas tree that just seems to evoke the spirit of the season.
Thanks so much for sharing the video.
