One Tank Trip: The Choo Choo Barn
This is the time of year many families take their model train sets out of the attic and set them up underneath the Christmas tree. But you'd need a really big tree for the trains set up in Lancaster County. WFMZ's Karin Mallett has our ticket to the Choo Choo Barn in Wednesday's One Tank Trip.

One Tank Trip: Boyds Bear Country
Bears aren't usually in view unless you have a nice big picnic basket nearby. But in a barn not too far from Berks County, they are quite friendly, even huggable. It's referred to as the "world's most humongous teddy bear store." WFMZ's Karin Mallett takes us there in tonight's One Tank Trip.
