The seventh annual Christmas Model Train Display kicked off over the weekend. An array of wintry and holiday-themed setups is on exhibit from 2 to 6 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays and noon to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays at the Harlin Museum, 405 Worcester St., until Dec. 22. From Dec. 23 through 29, the display may be seen from noon to 5 p.m. daily, with the exception of Christmas Day. Admission is free, though donations are accepted, and there will be items offered for sale by the sponsor, the West Plains Model Railroad Club. Club members encourage all to stop in and check out new train layouts and participate in a scavenger hunt for items hidden throughout the display.
