Small Christmas Layout ~ Small Christmas Tree
Posted by Green Streak RR on Monday, December 23, 2013 5:21 PM

With all but my little Hafner 1010 wind up locomotive and a few cars, packed away for our upcoming move, I wasn't going to do a layout or even a tree this year.   I couldn't stand the thought of a Christmas without a Train so decided to put the little Hafner and odds & ends that weren't packed away on a small tinplate Christmas layout.  A small layout calls for a small tree.....  If you look close, you can see it in B-9's right pincer(hand).

Merry Christmas!

Dave,

Love the picture and layout.  Just goes to show you can put a train just about anywhere.

Keep on training,

(laughs delightedly) You know, this has to be my favorite Christmas layout so far this year!  Bravissimo! Cool

Thanks Mike & Mitch.

The  layout was an off the cuff event. SWMBO is away visiting the grandkids for Christmas & I'm keeping the home fire burning as well as caring for and feeding SWMBO's 5 little doggies. Wasn't going to do anything as far as decorating, putting up a tree or layout. but realised I was being pretty Scrooge-ish...

So the layout sort of directed its own creation...

I'm pretty sure there's a deep philosophical message hidden in the photo.                                                     If anyone recognises it, please let me know!

Merry Christmas & Happy Rails!

I was thinking "Crush!  Kill!  Destroy!" myself.  Laugh
