Keeping Things Merry and Bright
Earl Shoemaker, the night watchman at the Widget Manufacturing plant, wasn't going to have his spirits dampened by his surroundings, so he put up a tree and hung a wreath on the little trailer's door. Anyone who visited was offered some hot cider and oatmeal raisin cookies, accompanied by familiar carols issuing forth from the old Dumont radio.
It was nothing fancy, but the sentiments were genuine, and wasn't that what it was all about?
Here's wishing everyone a safe, sane, loving and creative New Year.
If life gets overwhelming, please visit Elgin Park and stay as long as you like.
By the way, the Shasta Trailer diecast is by Green Light and it is delightful. For this photo shoot, I placed a wire brush tree inside the model and wrapped tiny L.E.D. lights around it,
then hid the wires and battery pack behind the trailer.
Here is the setup shot along with a day time photo of the same diorama:
