This is one of our (many) Christmas Tree layouts. Once you have been doing G scale layouts and doing frequent trains shows you tend to collect a lot of things to use, like miniature trees. And mostly small evergreen types that lend themselves well to a Christmas Tree village. Having a lot of the trees has also resulted in us having a lot of miniature ornaments.
The small yellow ore cars lend themselves well for holidays. At Halloween they get loaded up with candy or small pumpkins and at Christmas it’s miniature presents and ornaments. The larger passenger train is one of our favorites – it looks great, has wonderful sound and it pulls like a beast. Unfortunately as it is painted for the holidays it only get runs three times a year: at the fall White’s show, our train club’s holiday show and at home for our Christmas Eve open house.
