smokey1 - Wouldn't it be cool to get a soundboard with sleigh-bells, instead of a clanging sound?Idea

Finally got my new to me Happy Holidays GP-9

 

I've already ordered an R2LC for it. Will get a Railsound board for it later.

Got my mini-billboard in the front yard announcing tonight's final Christmas Train run of the year, 6pm ~ 8pm. Tomorrow they start going back into hibernation till next December.

If you don't mind the long commute all are invited. Clown

Thanks for the compliments.  The lights are all vintage C6. If one goes out they all go out. Plug them into a dimmer to prolong their life and keep them a bit cooler.

Santa had mechanical issue over the skies of West Virginia. Doralee was all fired and ready, so the South Branch bunch saved the day.

That track must be in the same sack as The Who hash, Roast beast, and the toot-tootlers, Doug...

 

Lo and behold, USPS finally got it here. Unfortuntely not early enuff to warrant pulling so much stuff up including all the tubular track. Oh well at least it's here and not still wandering around in USPS nevernever land.

Well USPS is saying the track will be delivered tonight, Monday, but the timing was becoming a major concern. Not sure if it will be here or if their statement is kinda like "the check is in the mail". Last night I pulled some of the tubular track off of the display shelves for use on the Christmas layout and started putting it down. Should be about 95% done by bedtime tonite and finishing touches tomorrow morning.
