As mentioned earlier, I have been inspired by these posts on train layouts. I have managed -but only just- to get the OK for a small Christmas theme layout placed below -and surrounding the base- of out plastic Xmas tree. I needed a break from the Colin Archer build and have designed a simple basic layout which will feature freight wagons loaded with tiny Xmas presants and maybe some Liquorice Allsorts or other high coloured goodies.
A pinewood bord covered with foambord has been designed around the rattan base of our Xmas tree. Spray-on snow will be added together with two small goods sheds and the obligitory village church.
Not big deal I know, but I must admit that I'm looking forward to Christmas already! We often set up the tree in early December to brighten up the long, dark winter days so this year I'm planning for VERY early December )
A digital N-gauge Fleischmann goods train set has been bought in for the occasion. Only beacause it was all I could find in stock under £300!
Only got a couple of basic photos for the moment. It won't look like much until the tree is in place above the whole show in about 7 weeks. Merry Xmas!
