I was a couple of weeks too late to post this in the 72-Hour "Ties" Picture Challenge that closed on 12/10, and I was going to add it today just for a laugh. But the red and green colors made me think of the holiday decorations my wife and I have been putting up recently, so I thought I'd offer it in a new thread for the holidays. Post your own pics and Seasons Greetings here if you wish. Happy Holidays to everyone on Trainboard!
Dave, I hope you'll be able to clean up that UFO slime that is falling all over those beautiful locos....!? Merry Christmas !
The Train in the Christmas Tree: A closer view: The idea for this was freely adapted (stolen) from Bachmann's Train-in-a-tree set. I tried to buy one but they kept getting too expensive so I made my own! One inch thick blue foam, sectional track, paint and ballast. I didn't put it up one year and everyone complained that they missed it! Merry Christmas, everyone! Darrell, jolly and quiet...for now
i'm not allowed to run trains on x-mas or around the tree. this of course has a reason. a few years go i received my live-steam ruby on december 24th. i immediately set up a smal oval in the living room on the carpet and did test-run my new loco. well, live steam is a bit on the messy side... steam and oil .... we had to get a new carpet.
