About this Article

For some families, the holiday decorating just isn't complete until a model train is click-clacking its way around a miniature village. The Northern Illinois LEGO Train Club's show is just like that — but bigger and more intricate. The show, a holiday tradition for many families, returns to the park this weekend.
