It’s coming on Christmas and I’ve finally started to get a little Christmas Spirit.
I have and used to run my Lionel large scale Polar Express, most recently O scale tinplate windups.
I went for a year or two without a Christmas Train. I have decided this year I’ll put together a large scale Christmas Train and lay some track in the house for the holidays.
I picked up a B-mann NP&S Combine and a NP&S Baggage Car some years ago and a Stainz 150th Anniversary Christmas set with an extra passenger car.
I found a sleigh and 4 reindeer that fit right well on an old hlw flat car. Bears, from wally world christmas ornament set.
There will be some more lgb passenger cars & hlw gondolas added to carry candy or gifts or a marching band…
Yesterday I started playing,
1st incarnation:
HLW Mack, HLW flat car, HLW bobber caboose.
2nd incarnation:
HLW 0-4-0T, LGB passenger car, HLW flat car, HLW bobber caboose.
Since there are going to be more cars added to the train and the little 0-4-0T lacks sufficient power, time for the crew to service and bring out the Heisler:
Its’ happened before, a White Christmas could happen, so l had better break out the small plow too:
This is a work in progress, so more photos to come.

Merry Christmas
Happy Rails!
