Overview	Valparaiso, IN - Vignettes throughout the layout take visitors through 200 years of the steam era of railroading. A mining town, a coal town, a limestone quarry, and a re-creation of Lincoln's funeral train as it stopped in Richmond, IN, are among the layout's historical vignettes. Plants such as dwarf conifers, bonsai and club moss add reality to the scenes.
