[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Hawks05</i> <br /><br />ya my tree in my room is a fiber optic battery operated. its like a foot and a half tall. we gave it to my grandpa but he can't see so good anymore so my mom took it back and gave it to me. that thing eats batteries fast. i just changed them like 2 days ago and i only had the tree on for maybe 2 hours and they are dead. the only train i could run around that is probably the M&M train my mom got for me. she bought like 5 i think tubes of M&Ms just to collect the engine and everything to go with it. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />How many batteries does this use and what voltage do they produce? You might be able to modify it to use one of those mains adaptor units (as used on various appliances - cellphones use them as chargers, a lot of computer gear uses them, basically they plug into the wall and give you a low-voltage DC power supply). This would save on batteries!
