The children on the playground are animated along with many other items. All involved in this project did an excellent job!
The Marx Layout
The Historic Marx Layout is one of the Delaware SeaSide RailRoad Club's pride & Joy. This 1958 Marx store display which was featured in the Seaford, Delaware Montgomery Ward Store. The SeaSide Railroad Club purchased it from an old home in Clarksville, DE which was about to be demolished. The display was found in the home in it original shipping carton. This was definatly a worthy rescue and an unforgetable piece of history.
