My son has become very interested in model trains, and we have watched this video of your setup multiple times! Your collection of Dept 56 items & the trains is just amazing. I have a question about your Lionel track. I noticed you have dc power going into the track at multiple points. Is that required because your train track is so long, and do you have to power the track every so many feet? Thanks for sharing your setup with us to enjoy on KZbin!

Absolutely love this. One question. I also have the Griswold house. In order to get the exterior lights on like shown in video. Do you push the button the back of the house? I can't place house anywhere out of reach due to have to constantly press button in order for outer lights to work. Kinda annoying
@itsachristmasthing Жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching, ours is the same, when we turn the whole display off and turn back on later we have to go click the button on the Griswold house separately to turn it on. Once for constant light, 2 for blinking lights.

Thanks for watching. Several things are elevating it. Lionel O-gauge trestles, Rail King trestles, and under the edges there are simple foam blocks with a sheet of fake snow draped over (see links below). Lots of micro adjustments with small pieces of foam and padding to get the angles and height just right so the train will make it up the incline and not fly off when coming down at full speed. www.amazon.com/Lionel-6-12038-FasTrack-Elevated-Trestle/dp/B000BVND6Q/ref=sr_1_33?keywords=lionel+train+truss&qid=1700044416&sr=8-33&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.17d9e15d-4e43-4581-b373-0e5c1a776d5d www.amazon.com/RAILKING-Elevated-Trestle-REALTRAX-40-1136/dp/B0C7Y43XTN/ref=sr_1_8?crid=YYH09B8LN25M&keywords=o+gauge+train+trestle&qid=1700044693&sprefix=o+gauge+train+trestle%2Caps%2C196&sr=8-8&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.17d9e15d-4e43-4581-b373-0e5c1a776d5d www.amazon.com/Square-Blocks-Flower-Arrangements-Decorations/dp/B07C96S7MH/ref=sr_1_5_pp?crid=1U2G9O7OUS74H&keywords=foam+blocks&qid=1700044817&sprefix=foam+block%2Caps%2C113&sr=8-5

@itsachristmasthing Жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching, the copyrighted music is easily uploaded onto the video, KZbin just stipulates that any video that contains copyrighted music is not allowed to generate revenues. Not a big deal for us as we just wanted a video as a keepsake and to have for our kids to watch down the road. This is our first year/video posting so not a KZbin expert by any means, but that is the process that was detailed after assembling the video. Thanks again
