Tsawwassen's Benno Bucher is once again raising money for the Food on the Corner Society this holiday season with his festive model train display.
The impressive setup in Bucher's front yard, which runs 5:30 to 9 p.m. daily, features scenes like a skating rink, a Western town and "little England."
It takes three or four days of good weather to set up, Bucher said, adding there's about 140 feet of track in total.
Last year he raised close to $1,000 for Food on the Corner, which has been feeding the homeless in the Downtown Eastside for about three decades.
The model train display starts tomorrow and goes until Dec. 23 at 5875 Vardon Place in Beach Grove.
It runs weather permitting (rain is OK, but it doesn't run in very windy conditions).
