What did you do to your trains today?

thanks for that, super. the ones im using are 48 by 48. the 32s would have worked for some, but not all, of the buildings. never mind, got the blues now. hehe.

did a mock set up today. i had wanted to run the trackmaster set independantly, but that left no room to decorate the middle, so had to rethink.
pretty happy with the final design... still got to draw a plan for it, as it has to be built twice more in december for our club christmas shows. along with this, i also have to decorate my toy story layout and set up the ride on train. my stuff is outside, so a fresh build required each time.
i had issues with small hands last year, so will be roping it off some. mostly littlies thinking the trains on the transfer station were stuck and needed a push, and one older [9+] boy who thinks because is lego, its ok for him to play with. ive had problems with him else where, and it doesnt help his mother is mostly hands off [out of sight, out of mind]

stripped down, after the decorations had been packed up. its 47cm from transfer station to bridge, and 65cm across.


birds eye view. 3 sets of trackmaster adapters


the heavily modified tree. need to work on supporting it properly. its top heavy.


stringing the lights on the grandparents house.


toy shop, with horse and buggy delivery service!


bakery and skating pond. the candy canes i got from a craft store in canada, and hot glued them to lego studs. the glue has let go on several, so need to redo them. no damage to studs, surprisingly enough


latest addition... santas workshop!!!!!


post office and pavillion


tree sellers and canines eying up the turkey


another new addition this year, merry go round. im hoping to power this next year. got the motor, but its too fast. need to work out how to slow it down. the crank on top of the booth turns the merry go round and also the cups game
