The character of DOUGLAS PETTIBONE in ANGELINAS BACHELORS would be a veteran model train assembler who would be putting together a considerably-sized Christmas display each year at his home. His This Day in History calendar would have informed him that on November 4, 1890 – the first deep-level tube railway opened between King William Street and Stockwell in London. This would have inspired him to start rustling up companions for his visit to the HolidayTrainShow that opens November 16th at NewYorkBotanicalGarden. As a gardener, Angelina would seem like a shoo-in for this trip. When you click on this link, be SURE to scroll down and look at the EXQUISITE detail in this display (its integrated into the magnificent plant life of the garden). With the assumption (incorrect we think) that this exhibit is primarily for kids, NYBG adds bar car nights for the big kids. nybg.org/exhibitions/2013/holiday-train-show/bar-car-nights.php
