Train assistance

[Scot Meyers]

I do not have a set of detailed plans but after the Christmas holidays I can help anyone wanting to build a train similar to the one in the video. e mail me at walter@magicchristmas.org if you are interested . A train build such as this takes about a year to get it right and there are many options that work in different locations.

and some times it takes a year or two to tweak it and get it to run right.
but if anyone can help you Walter can he has helped many people. including Bryce Kindla and me

Thanks for the kind words , Scot. I think we have all helped each other to build our trains.

Walter your train is so cool!!! I would love just pictures of the setup, motor, drive wheels, power. How did you bend your guide?

[Bob Moody]

Scot, you right about that .. even my "G" scale train running under the pixel-tree gets more ohhs and ahhs than any other part of the display

walter is a great person to talk to about building a train. He got me started. using some of his plans and some others. now have all my track done and working on the Christmas train. right now laying out the engine, then the cars. all with lights.

I've taught several train classes for Lone Star Holidays. My latest PowerPoint is available on GleannlochChristmas.com. Walter is right- we all learn from each other.

I really wish I hadn't looked at this thread and wished I hadn't watched the youtube video.

Yes I want to build a train now. Only thing is, we have a really small yard. Maybe something to look at for 2017.

For those having a stab it this for this year I'd love to see some build photo's along the way.
