You could enhance the disappearing act by putting a simple timer interrupt inside your tunnel "loop" - activate the timer with a magnetic sensor.. You have a good heart and that shines through ! God Bless, and all the best for the coming "Magical and Blessed" season! Thanks for sharing !

This is a wonderful layout. I had Lionel trains as a child, and added to them with my son years later. The trains I have now are all but three of the Hallmark Lionel ornaments offered over the last 24 years. The miniatures include almost every piece of rolling stock on this layout.

5 months and 1 week ago I got the ho scale polar express and I have done nothing with it. My grandma had an ho scale christmas train layout. she died 2 or 3 days ago. she told my dad before she died to give the layout to me. now I have a layout for It! well now I need to make flat top and herplshiemers!! at least I have been into model railroading for a few years and I know how to make a mountain. I might make a mountain like your's!!! You are an inspiration. Please make more videos on this!!!!! Cheers, Kyle

We have a village house-nicely detailed plastic, that recites "The night before Christmas" amusingly for those old enough,it sounds exactly like it is being recited by Richard Nixon, the same voice, same speech pattern, where, and when we got it I do forget-long ago-. We used to do a layout yearly at a retirement home where the wife used to work, which measured about 6by25 feet ,and that was part of it.

We have Dept. 56 Snow Village buildings. And there is an opening on the back or underneath the Christmas buildings to light the inside. The mains plug goes into the wall with a wired set of lights. Maybe the manufacturer of your collection sells this as an accessory, or perhaps a Dept. 56 accessories will accommodate your Christmas Village. I was seeing that your daughter is watching her brother operate the controller. Is she waiting for her turn? Merry Christmas to your family, and many happy and healthy years of enjoyment.

Looks like I've got my work cut out for me since I'm going to take that a step further and include a large train yard and 5 steam locomotives all ready to couple up to their trains to take off and help Santa with his annual deliveries. the sets I'm going to use are three sets from Bachmann, one from Piko, and one from New Bright . the Night Before Christmas Set, the White Christmas Express, The North Pole Express, the Bear Loggers Express, and the Holiday Express. As for the Polar Express, that will be an easy one. a Aristocraft 2-8-2 Mikado and some Polar Express Passenger cars in G scale.
