Holiday decor 2016

Christmas has sprung.

I actually bought this locomotive at my first Carlisle, when a number of us toured the brewery. This is the first time all of these have been out of the boxes..

Great train!:thumbsup:

My first trains were running under the tree like that, when Santa gave them to me.

I'll post my train under the tree photos soon.

I like it
Very nice

Nice, I will post up my set maybe on the weekend. I don't recall you buying that, good thing you kept it in the box or it may have suffered the same fate as trixe's chair

I like it a lot.

I wonder if Santa is going to leave any 4.6 parts under that tree anymore now that you have a five ho.

 

[Lvnmarks]

Some 5oh rods might be there by christmas morning.

[tixer]

ha! that's a great little layout that guy has.

One of these days I'll get around to putting something like that together. It'll never look /that/ good though

I'm hoping to put this train up again this year, if I ever get some time (I'm currently sitting in an airport in Utah, hoping to go home).

I put the lawn train up.

I always check it out inside before I put it up. This was the first time all strings of lights worked, without having to test every bulb.

I think you should modify it to one with Santa driving a Mark VIII. :fart

Here's my train under the tree.

Beautiful I love them. I received one as a kid when I was about 6. It was handed down from my cousin who received it in the 1940's. I passed it down to my cousin years later. I should have kept it.

Someday Bill, I will get to see that layout in person ...

 

[billcu]

Here's the regular tree with a train.

This one's an 0-4-0 switcher built around 1949

 

[tixer]

That looks great, Bill. Amazing smoke, too. I haven't seen any of mine go that clearly.

The most wonderful thing is a train under a tree. Have loved it since i was a little boy.
