As we go Christmas shopping my wife and I keep a eye out for whatever we can use next year on the C.J.and M. This year we found at Lowes a bunch of cool small booths and rides for a carnival . The booths here were $15.00 to $8.00 .They do not have lights in them . As you can see with the ruler in the picture the figures are about 3" high . I also picked up three rides . I'm not gonna leave them out but will display them for parties , etc. These are lit and come with volume control for the neat sound effects . At night among the pine trees of the railroad it will be a sight with all the movement and lites . These cost between $60.00 to $70.00 . We also picked up a lighted "kissing" booth , a lighted fish for a prize booth, and some figures from the same company.Whats neat is that they are not winter or christmas looking as the figures are wearing short sleve shirts and the bases aren't painted white to simulate snow .
Lemax has so many neat things for reasonable prices. Don't forget to check places like Ace Hardware too. A CTT staffer found a building there for $6 on clearance! (That was was more O-gauge-ish, but still worth checking to see what else they might have.)
