Polar Express video
Posted by ConductorRob on Wednesday, May 19, 2010 8:18 PM

 Thought you might enjoy this layout video of "The Polar Express Magic Mountain Disappearing Train Layout----Believe"        It uses a "trick" that Lionel incorporated in a few dealer displays in the early 1950's that showed off their new "magnetraction". This layout was built for display at The Toy Train Expo in Williamsport, PA and resides the rest of the year at the Pine Summit Railroad near Muncy, PA. Access the video here     or visit the Pine Summit Railroad click here

Enjoy!

Thats a cool vid! the Magic Mountain Dissappearing train. Especially love the Northern Lights Water Fall at night. Would like to incoporate that into my layout. That I am building. If you would care to share you secrets on the materials you used to get the desiered effects for the waterfall. If not thats cool to... Great Layout Concept.. Keep up the good work...Love The Polar Express Set to...notice my tag line under my name...and imagine Tom Hanks saying it...

Itsgottahemi@hotmail.com looking forward to it! Thanks alot...thinking of something like the dissappearing train...but opposite....The Appearing Train....coming out of say a tunnel opening...that is about 3 or 4 inches from the wall...still thinking about that one...or have it dissappear into one tunnel entry then on the oterside of the layout have it reappear...so many possibilties...
