Well after years of looking and waiting I finally broke down and picked up the Christmas train. I plan on someday reworking it to be electric as I get quite annoyed at the RC's batteries .
Sorry about the quality It was done shadows of the moon light very late :zz: to keep the kids from seeing it till Christmas morning
Basically the Big Man has been tired of living in the cold so he spent the seasons hiding in Florida . They need to get him to the north to prepare for , you know what .

Excellent pictures of the upcoming holiday theme! I really like the Steck background! One question, what type of cobble stone base are you using to lay your track on?
-
Hi Bill :wave:
Thanks for the compliment. The pebbles are made by a company called Lemax and I bought it here (http://www.dollhousestrainsandmore.com/large-pebble-mat.html). I am sure you could get it locally at a hobby shop . I liked the 18" X 36" and it is rubber like material. The water they make is not that great looking. I would take some pictures if you want to see it up close .

Love it, I would like one myself but since it was never released in europe chances of me getting one are pretty slim.

Hi Highland :wave:
Thanks for the reply and kind compliment. I bet you recoginse some of your talented work (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=3702.0) duplicated in these pictures ;) I did not have any castles I wanted to dismantle and had just bought a bunch of the sheds, so there you have it .

Good old sheds! Good thing you had the foresight to invest in them when you did, kudos! Great setup Rasputin, your boys are going to love it, is there a flatcar with the sled or was that left up North?

Hi Gepetto :wave:
Thank you for the kind feedback, Yes I am a sucker for clearance Playmobil. Like your tip on the TM sale ;) Yes you are right about the flatcar not being seen , and yes again it is up north being packed up . Santa is going green transportation this year in hopes of promoting mass rail transit

Hi Karim :wave:
Thank you very much, I too love to see pictures in action but be aware that my hard working crews get awfully hungry and we , I mean they may just raid one of your delicious cooking scenes :P
