Well I have finished this years Train layout. Down sized big time from the last few years. Moonman I look for your input!!! LOL...So this is made in 2 4x4 sections. Both has one inch foam board glued on them and painted white. I then got a 2 inch sheet of foam and cut it into and cut it for the upper level just to give it a height difference. The back mountains are in 3 section and carved out of foam also. They are held in place by just 6 "L" brackets that they sit in. Under the board I have 5 screw in legs from Lowe's per section. The rest is just what stuff do I want to put on it. I have enough of it I could fill our living room. The track is all Lionel Fastrack. 036 on the bottom loop and 031 on the top. I have the bottom powered by MTH 1000 watt trans and the top is Lionel 80 watt. I like running the Lionel Lion Chief engines because of the remotes, but I do have MTH engines so that when I have the MTH trans on the bottom loop. So there ya go folks...Merry Christmas from Doug & Annie Home

Very festive indeed.
That looks great!
Great Job Dougie Fresh !
Wonderful! I love it. Lots of action in the space. I like the background and mountains. Thanks for sharing!
Great layout design. How did you make the mountains? They would make a great addition to any layout and don’t appear to require much space
Great job...looks ready for the holidays!
Doug,

Wishing you the best for the holidays,

PS. I believe - I still hear the bell
I just noticed Santa flying over the mountains - didn't see it the first time I looked
Nice job, Dougie Fresh!
But where did you get that flying Santa and sleigh from? It looks great lit up and flying in the mountains.
