And it begins,building the “Trains of Christmas “layout | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

aex steveOGR Forum Member

This is the first video of building the Trains of Christmas interactive layout for my community.( Show information is posted on the events page) With the help of family and friends we build a 20 x 24 interactive layout in 3 days. The way I will have nine trains running at one time, including the Polar express, Percy, Thomas, James and diesel. There will also be scale trains running on the outer loops. Kids can have access to the remotes to run the trains. This is a completely free event. I will post more videos of the construction as available. The photo is The completed layout from last year
