2021 Christmas Video
Posted by chatanuga on Sunday, December 12, 2021 4:29 PM

In this video, you'll see the entire Hallmark Lionel ornament collection going from this year all the way back to 1996 as I unpack the ornaments.  After the tree is decorated, you'll get to see all of my running Lionel rolling stock, including a home movie clip from Christmas 1976 when I got my original Lionel train.  Enjoy!

Very nice video. You did a great job of recreating the Nostalgia. The old footage was great. You went through a lot of work setting that up. Looks great!  I still have my old train set. Someday I'm going to try to recreate something like you did. A little faster time lapse of the setup, and a brighter view of the Hallmark ornaments would have been even better.. Enjoy!

Glad you enjoyed!

Actually, in some of the segments of putting the ornaments on the tree I went back and sped them up even more before uploading the video.  The full setup of the tree (left out actually wrapping presents) took around four hours according to the raw videos.  I wish I could have gotten a better angle of the Lionel ornaments, but it was the best angle that I could get without my getting in the way or pointing the camera towards the lights, which would have backlit the picture, making it worse.
