Christmas Trees | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

playswithtrainsOGR Forum Member

I am creating a Christmas tree lot for my 4' x 8' layout and in need of Christmas trees to populate it. Looking for sources for decent looking trees. As this is a tinplate layout, scale size is not critical, but would like to keep the height of the trees to a reasonable height (4-6 inches or so). Thanks in advance for any help.

I used a bunch of Carole Towne trees I bought from Lowe's at Christmas time. They come in an assorted size pack. I used them to cover my Christmas themed layout.

Hi Playswithtrains,

I found the Christmas Tree Stand in a Right Aid drugstore a couple of year ago. It has two very white LEDs inside that I toned down with a marking pen. It looks to be the correct scale for the O gauge layout. It would be easy enough to make one from some popsicle sticks. The trees came from an after Christmas sale at Michaels also several years ago.

Found a bunch at Walmart after Christmas several years ago. The lights are from Evan Designs.
