Hello all. I know it is only July, well close to August, but I am looking into building a Christmas layout with Trackmaster/Tomy. I have a couple questions I am hoping you guys may have some thoughts on.
So I am thinking about making some custom snow plows for a few duplicate trains I have (Thomas, James, Gordon, Percy, and a few others). Ideally the plows would be removable, but since these are duplicates and extras, they could be permanent. My thought in making these would be to get some PVC piping. Cut a section at and angle, then cut it in half, finally matching the halves to make the plow. Do you think this will work? Any other thoughts on making these?
I was thinking someone posted something about snow plows but I could not find it.
Also for the Christmas layout, I and thinking it adding some red/green LED's that I picked up. And maybe using the idea @nigel had of the "texture spray paint" but in white to look like snow on some extra track and buildings.
Let me know if anyone has any advice and or comments. Thanks for the help.
