Quick Update:  to my surprise, I received a package from Trainworld today, after not hearing back from them over 3 weeks as to its where abouts.  I had assumed the order lost and cancelled.  Well, the Golden Goose finally landed!  My kids and I could not be more excited!  The final pieces to this years Christmas Tree lay out!  BELIEVE!!!

Rob, that came out beautifully!!!

Wyatt, the trouble I went through to get this little house this year makes it that much more special.  So much that i'm ending up with two, because again, Trainworld dropped the ball on the order, so I ordered it from another vendor.  Turns out, the 2nd vendor shipped it to Pennsylvania.....when im located in Oregon.  All I can do is laugh at this point

Finally took a pair of photos of my third layout which is a lot smaller than normal because of "Mount Saint Crapola"...

...that would be the big pile of garage sale items stacked in space that would normally be filled with standard gauge.  That's a Lionel Large Scale NYC Atlantic sharing floor space with the 2 Modern Toys locos by the way.  Hey!  Did you notice my vintage command control remote? 

Doesn't affect the clockwork layout!  And I still get to run my standard gauge!

This train is under my daughter and her fiance's tree.  It was the childhood set of her babysitters husband.  He had given them to me (with boxes - poor condition).  It is a Lionel 248 with two 529s and a 530.  No real market value but the memories associated with it are priceless.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Oops, forgot the picture.

Sawdust, What a charming photo.  That is one of the few classy classic photos I have seen.  I love it and it truly captures the love of toy trains under the Christmas tree.  Those glitterhouses and black and white photo are perfect.  Thanks for sharing.

I have to wonder... Did we run out of things to post? Or is the attachment tool and full composing screen stuck for this thread? Other threads it is working, but not here. Here it seems to be limited to text only now. Too much video for a portable device? It 's all that bridges fault I haven't been able to get an attachment tool to show since the last time I posted. The videos won't play and the composing toolbar never loads. The issue don't exist in other threads. I blame it on the bridge Kinda hoping a new page might start to clear it up too
