Christmas is near

Christmas really isn’t near but if you are going to build something it time to get busy!

I always wanted to put together a Christmas train for the club layout and I have the basic pieces. I recently got my hands on an old LGB Stainz with a powered tender that are both green. I have two Hartland two axle flatcars and a freelanced flatcar that is wider than the HLW cars so I think I have the basic cars.

Now it is time to build.

Since Michaels has their Halloween stuff out and Costco is putting up Christmas displays Michaels can’t be far behind!

Has anyone seen anything that will help build a holiday train?

Doug,

years ago I snagged 2 LBG Flat Cars (2 axle) that were made to haul orange “Steel Beams” (I’ll try to locate part #) .

For the Christmas train that year, I replaced the Orange Steel Beams with those BIG Candy Cane “logs”.

I also used a 4 wheel LGB Caboose covered with tiny LED Christmas lights that operated with a 9v battery. I’ll try to dig up some photos…
