Here's my Christmas tree train for the year!
I had to put a masonite circle under the tree (supported by shims over the hard floor) to support the 5lb. of weight held in that engine!

Well do to our move next month our christmas layout is confined to the box. If it was set up it was a lionel steam 4-6-2 from 1948 with a bunch of old new rolling stock found in a guys house last year when the family moved him into a nursing home. Gotta love the father in law for that one. It all runs on the new lionel fast track. May expand that for some turnouts and my moms old lionel diesel f something.
Merry christmas everyone or happy holidays for those who are politically correct.

The T&S spent a fortune on a Christmas village. As there was a station included I felt obliged to provide appropriate transport,

Dave,
That Sequoa looks very nice and realistic on your S-scale layout. Is that snow on the ground?

P.S. Good choice in roads, too, BTW
Lionel New York Central Flyer with Fast Track around our tree (note; this is before we decorated the tree!):
TZ - I have an old Lionel set (approx 1985) that I am going to set up for my nephew. Its been so long since I operated this thing. All I can remember is that it has a steam engine and a little rolling stock. I hope it works. Its been paked away for about 15 to 20 years. But it has been stored in a nice sturdy trunk so I think after I clean the rails and check out the loco it will probably run alright.
I'll check it out tonight and get more details. Anyone know whether a Lionel set from the 80's would be worht anything? I doubt it is a collectors item, but I don't really keep up with the value of old train collectables.

Secondhandmodeler's thread made me think. What sort of trains on and around the Christmas trees is everyone doing this year? Instead of dreging up a prior year thread, here is the one for 2007. Mine are not out of storage yet - maybe this weekend. What does everyone else have?
Remember - it ain't no ufficial Christmas tree if it ain't got a train.
