Mike.....just a simple 31 inch circle with do the trick....nothing fancy I know. But it's never that simple with my Mrs. She and the boys went all out this year... Tree, inflatables in the yard, lights on the eaves and around the tree trunks... She told me I wouldn't have to lift a finger... Guess who was out there every five minutes fixing some piddly hiccup in every operation? HUMBUG!!! Mike You got this Clark ....Griswold...lol

Well I got it set up. Need to get the smoke going. There is a back story to this train. Years ago my brother gave this to us for Christmas. I have never set it up before this. My brother passed a few years ago and I was going to keep it in the box to keep it new. After Ness gave me the inspiration, I set it up this evening. Thanks Nessy! I dont think my brother would want it left unused. He loved his trains since being a kid. Thank you to my brother and rest in peace Byron. Sorry so sappy. What a great story goldnut. I'm sure your brother would be happy. Bless you brother!
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I don't have any pictures from last year. But we are setting the people out tomorrow on our train layout. I will be taking pictures so I know were to replace them Friday, as we have an open house Saturday & Sunday after church. Not trying to steal this thread but I have over 500 feet of track in the back just off of the porch. We will have trains under 2 of the 3 trees in the house. This is my train shelf in 2015.

Check the Christmas Tree thread to see 2 of our trees from last year. I'm not good at remembering to take pictures till I have to. We are still setting things up and have been at it for over a week with the help of my mom and one of her friends.

I need parts. HO, 1960s, trucks and hitches broken. Have a lot of plasticville my artist Father detailed. Kids and Grandkids were rough on stuff. But what good are they if you don't run em. I need to R&R another bedroom before I commit. Thinking of running it above the windows and doors.
My Brother has a Kellogg's cereal special, it is pretty much a carton queen.

Wright Brothers Depending on what part of Pa. you are in you should not have trouble finding parts. York has several large Hobby Shops, as well as Brumall. You can also check tranze.com.

Thanks Jim Evans. Two shops I've been to are one in Weedville and one in Cranberry. After a web search, I have a small fortune here. Needs to run.
Impressed you set up outdoors.
Anyone else? Choo-choo.

I currently don't have a train. Wish i did. I grew up near the real tracks and have always loved trains, big and small.
What i do have now, thanks to Nessbuck, is a new addiction to look up and watch every train set up on u-tube. THANKS ALOT NESS!!!! Iam sure a lot of Train Shows are coming up too !! There is a HUGE Train Show in Springfield Mass ...at the BIG-E...at the End of January. Talk about sensory ovah load !!
