WASHINGTON, Iowa (AP) — A former bricklayer made a deal with an eastern Iowa retirement home when he became a resident to allow him to put up a display of model trains. Jim Bennett of Washington says the holiday season is his favorite time for the past 10 years because he gets to display his enthusiasm being a train engineer.

KCRG-TV reports that his train display is in the United Presbyterian Home’s lobby in the town of 7,400 people about 50 miles south of Cedar Rapids. He’s posted hours of operation for Monday, Wednesday and Friday and is likely leave the display up through February.
