Jingle Rails is a Great Western Adventure in a G-scale model train wonderland containing nine working model trains that wind through a stunning miniature landscape. The exhibit features miniature versions of local treasures of downtown Indianapolis, including the Eieteljorg Museum, Monument Circle, Union station and Lucas Oil Stadium. The trains then head through the National Parks of the American West, passing legendary sites including grand railway lodges, Northwest Coast Native villages, and wonders both natural and human-made--Mt. Rushmore, Grand Canyon, Mesa Verde, Yosemite Falls, Old Faithful, and much more.
Every year for several years at Christmas time we would go to INDY to visit with Kid and Grand Kids and visit Jingle Rails. Grandpa being a model railroad fan had the best time of all.
I have to admit I had a grand time as well, in awe of the talent of those who achieved this work of art.
