Christmas in July 2019

To get the full effect you need to watch the Hallmark channel.  They are doing their annual Christmas in July shows.

That's part in parcel why I did the temporary layout.  The Hallmark Channel is one of the networks that my mother's television is always on .  So visits to her this month have always included me spending some time watching those syrupy shows that cater to her demographic. 

I dunno Kevin, without that middle rail it just doesn't look "real" to me .

The Realtrax looks pretty real without the center rail.

After finishing cutting the lawn in 90+ deg heat....I wouldn't mind a little cold weather right now

Like the Christmas display.

Awesome! Love it, Kevin.

OK Kevin, you got me in the spirit. Just set up the old Christmas Tree. Don

I Love It!!!        

It was also the Hallmark Ornament Premiere this weekend.

Not as exciting as some previous offerings, but it's the Scout/Tender and a Caboose for the full size offering this year.  (Southern F3 minis, but they aren't until October)

(They are true to form in being just as un-remarkable as the actual Scout engine )

Oh, almost forgot!  Nice display work!

A reasonably good excuse to develop some battery powered loco's. I don't mean some of the junk done in "G" by an un-named importer.

Before July is gone, I wanted to contribute also. Here is my Lionel 783 with an ERR upgrade pulling the Pol-Ex back southward to get ready for December 

                            Christmas layout stays up all year here... 

                          have a " Merry Christmas"  in July everyone 

    in fact,  the tree is still up,  either lazy or early...

                                   really, do I have to do this...

      and  no,  Izzy didn't get any coal in her stocking,  she's been being a good girl !

Thanks for all of the photos that you folks posted.  Love the Santa outfit Brian
