A gingerbread replica of the Dunedin Railway Station has joined the likes of New York's Grand Central Station and London's King Cross, as part of the 19th Annual Sheraton Gingerbread Village.
The "Holiday Express" theme required each of the six volunteer teams to construct a replica of railway station from around the world under the watchful eye of a chef and architect at the Seattle-based hotel.
Planning began in August, with each structure weighing up to 230kg and a height limit of 150cm.
The gingerbread creations were not eaten, but donations from visitors went to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
The Dunedin Railway Station, which was officially opened in 1906, is one of the New Zealand's most photographed buildings.
Designed by George Troup, it earned the architect the nickname "Gingerbread George".
