Sweet dude,
I like the idea. it looks good!
I'd love to see more of the inner workings!
I've wanted a train for some time now. Due to several reasons, I'm fabricated a smaller version of a train that most people have. The train travels in an 8' circle. The cars range in size but average around 7" wide by 14 - 18" long. The train is be powered by a wiper motor.

You must be somewhere warm. Just the right size to put a plastic bubble over it to keep snow off?
very nice,'how are you powering the train?
didnt see contacts in track.
also the snowman was very cool
Yes, both snowman and train are quite nice. I too would be interested in hearing how you powered the train ...

Yup, that's the new and improved version. I hope to get to post some pictures of the origianl pickups and some construction pictures later.
Mutilated Lionel track ... don't think I would have thought of that ...

Here are some pictures of the build:
These are the trucks I made. They are constructed out of alum bar stock with casters for wheels.
