A model figure stands on a steam locomotive tender on a model railroad layout

​​The Lower Paxton & Northern engine terminal is a bustling place this morning. With two locomotives on the ready tracks, the hostler is set to fill the tender of the third engine with water. Bob Santos of Harrisburg, Pa., photographed the action on his indoor 1:24-proportion large scale layout.
