Those of us in NJ know about the Hi-railers layout but this seasonal layout is a nice visit as well. The owner clearly spends a great deal of time setting up this display, sticks around to answer questions and has a game for the kids. It changes a bit every year and I always come away with an idea or two. Anyone close to Woodbridge NJ should check it out before the end of the year.

Took a visit to see the layout today. It is a nice visit for anyone in the area. A good opportunity to kill some time while in the Woodbridge Route 1&9 area (from Sansone Auto Mall to Woodridge Center Mall/Menlo Park Mall).
No Entrance Free is required. Donations are accepted. They also have a Scavenger Hunt for the kids. You can turn in the results of the Scavenger Hunt for an opportunity to win a Wegmans Train Set.
Here is a link to the flyer. Below are a few pictures from the layout.
The water fountain actually sprouts out water. It adds a nice touch.
The building in the upper right of the picture (next to the bus) is a model of the Barron Arts Center.
The hockey rink has a scoreboard and operating Zamboni.
The beachfront has an ocean and carnival rides (Teacups, Ferris Wheel, Bumper Cars, Parachute Ride) on each end of the beach.
Another angle of the City. The object between the bus and the Fountain is a cannon (another nice touch).
There are several additional scenes on the layout.
Merry Christmas,
