We have seen many a Garden Railroad. A a few hundred to say the least. Most have a main street with a saloon, sheriff's office, and a blacksmith or two. One thing that is missing on many a railroad is a church. Where do the people get married, where do they get buried?

Remember in Heb 10:25 KJV it says, Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

It's time to let the little folks do some assembling on your railroad.

Best of all! No real assembly from you is required.

We had an opportunity to get up close and personal with the final model of the Aristo-Craft ART7206 Church. This is one nice prototypical building.It even has gutters and down spouts. This is another of the Aristo-Craft pre-built structures. All you have to do is add the steeple, and it is ready out of the box.

The building actually looks like a small town church, many of which are still used today. I found one being promoted by theWest Virginia Film Office as a great place to film a movie. I saw a building that look very much like this Aristo-Craft model.
The Church does not come with a cemetery as you will see in the pictures on page two. This is separate item, ART7207 Cemetery, that can be purchased. These are high quality units that are much larger than the regular tomb stones that we have seen up to now in Large Scale.
These are more in the category of monuments. We saw some just like these on our trip to the National Convention in several of the older Mid-West Cemeteries. My son remarked that we would not use the tall one in the cemetery. When we got a set we could keep. It looks just like a monument he had seen in the town square of a small town and he wants to use it like that on our railroad.
