— Trains chugged through farm scenes and past ponds and feed mills. Sets included a snow scene, a circus train and a monorail just like at Disney World.

Kids found plenty of buttons to push for sounding train whistles, kicking workers in a control tower into action or making hot air balloons rise and fall.

The scene was the Delavan Train Show, Friday through Sunday, at the American Legion building in downtown Delavan.
