The trains are on time at the Henry Sheldon Museum in Middlebury. Holiday time, that is. And every year the toy train layout grows a little more elaborate; this year’s additions are newly fashioned cliffs on a skating pond plateau, a waterfall and fresh landscaping. Grass! Dirt! Rocks! But, the museum assures, the big hit of 2018 has returned: a tiny gondola ski lift complete with skiers, snowboarders and climbers. A team of volunteer “engineers” operates the trains through January 11 (see henrysheldonmuseum.org for schedule).
