It seems that folks are starting to post their ideas for Christmas Layouts, and I was bored, so I figured I'd add to the mix. I can't even claim "Christmas in July," as I'm 3 days early. 
I need to show off my scale Gold Polar Express set this year, so the O-36 that came with my streamlined PE set last year won't cut the mustard. I'll have to work around the speakers & entertainment center with O-72, and the walls of the room confine me to this space. I've managed to squeeze in a side track that'll work with the longer cars, engine(s), but for freight operations I've incorporated the O-36 switches that came w/the track expansion pack. Might put a station (maybe even the PE one) on the longer siding. I've got Lionel FasTrack to work with: what came w/the basic set & short loop expansion, as well as a full circle of O-72 and two of the 30" straight sections.
As always, any thoughts, comments, or suggestions are appreciated.
