Let's all share this year's Christmas layouts!
I did a search and didn't see where anyone has started the yearly general Christmas layout sharing thread. If not, I hope nobody minds that I start it this year. If I've missed this thread started elsewhere, please let me know by email!
Not much different this year on my Christmas layout, except the room now has yellow walls instead of the nice holiday friendly burgundy, and I've added a few operating cars, and new operation buttons in the form of retro door bell buttons. As my daughter has gotten a year older and is now almost 7, we are having even more fun than before running trains and operating the layout together!
New operating Lionel pastel purple barrel dumper for my daughter, new Lionel dumping car, and old MTH operating brakeman car:
