Howdy all !

Having to back up and make some adjustments on the garage Christmas layout. Had planned on using FastTrack for a large additional floor loop but USPS is crapping on that idea. I have some 30" straights which had been ordered "priority" mail EARLY this week and as far as I can see they are still sitting somewhere in Virginia and I quote "intransit, delayed delivery". Plus I assume you've heard the term "stuff flows downhill" apparently UPS and FedEx are begining to experience the same issues but not quite as bad, YET. Angry

As an alternative I have pulled some of the "O" gauge long tubular straights off of the shelves in the trainroom to use in case the new stuff doesn't show up today or early Monday morning. Need to have everything done and ready for visitors Tuesday evening.

The caboose isn't on the track in this pic as I was getting ready to add illumination to it. 

Here's my latest on the big layout

Dougnotta - They are Lemax. You get 4 trees per set, and they can change from green, blue, or gold tone. Wifey wishes that they would cycle from color to color on their own. 

 

That would have been neat if the color cycled on it's own.

Fife, The opening scene there are what appears to be a couple of lighted crystal trees, are they the ones done by Lemax ?

I thought about ordering some but just wasn't sure how they would look but those you have look really good.    Thumbs UpThumbs Up

Looking Good y'all !

Still getting mine together, all there except I'm waiting on a delivery of some 30" pieces of FastTrack. Made some changes with buildings, decorative packages and adding another main line. The new main will be on the garage floor. Hope the new track is on time, we have already announced that we will be open the evening of the 22nd and 23rd for drive-by and/or sidewalk viewing.

The wiring is like a bowl of spaghetti with all the moving around and additions so I guess before next Halloween it will require a complete rewiring.
