Here are a few photos. The first with Thomas the tank Engine is from our layout. The second two are from a Christmas layout done by Trumptrain, a frequent OGR Forum poster and loyal customer.

Nice!  Very nice!  I'll be ordering a couple of those, as my grandson and I are building a small Christmas-themed railroad.  What did you use for the sprinkles under the yellow truck?  I'm wondering if the granulated styrofoam  would be a static-y nightmare .......

Don't go with ground up styrofoam! Can you say Giant mess? Because that is what will happen as I cut some styrofoam insulation the other day and know from experience about the mess. A roll of cotton would do better.

I used our free snow product on the roads. The free snow is pulverized styrofoam. http://www.harrisontrains.com/wintersnow.htm

I use the Blanket of Fresh Fallen Snow for the platform and the free snow on the streets and on the tops of the white thumb tacks that I use to hold the snow blanket in place. A pinch of free snow on the top of each thumb tack and the thumb tack visually disappears. Also, any free snow that gets on the snow blanket tends to stick to the blanket rather than being statically attracted to train wheels.

Interesting, I never heard of "free snow" before. About 12 years ago I used a roll of cotton and a staple gun to attach the cotton with a small bag of sparkle material and hair spray to keep the sparkles in place.
