A slice of pre-Christmas nostalgia
Posted by IDM1991 on Saturday, December 6, 2014 2:01 PM
Starting last year, I have been experimenting with cameras and trains beneath the family Christmas tree. Below is a link to a short film featuring the first attempts at this year's under-the-tree experimentation. The tree itself is not yet decorated; more videos will follow when it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEz6J8AeYt4 Ian D. McKechnie

Thank you. Trains around the tree bring about many memories. I use to lie in front of my train watching it race around a curve to approach me, Can't do that anymore, my wife already thinks I'm weird playing with my trains. This gives a whole new perspective that we couldn't do 60 years ago. Please post more. You struck a whimsical chord with meSmile

Oh, I still lay on the floor watching the train zooming towards me, I don't care how weird Lady Firestorm thinks I am!

She's probably happy I'm not out drinking, gambling, or chasing women.
