C

ongratulations on your purchase of the Hot Air Balloon Ride accessory from the Miniature

Railroad & Village®! Each afternoon, many tiny passengers gather at the airfield to board
the hot air balloon sunset tour of the Miniature Railroad & Village® river valley. As the colorful
aerostat ascends above the valley before gliding over the river and out of sight, we can hear the
call “Hey, I can see my house!” Imagine what the scene below would be as you glide over your
own miniature world.

Two balloons are suspended over your layout. The balloons go up and down automatically

by means of a pulley system.

Caution!

Possible entanglement or strangulation injury. Keep fishing line out of the
reach of children.
