Pdaitabird Posted November 24, 2019 Posted November 24, 2019 Just a quick clip of my first annual Christmas tree layout...I can't wait to explain to my family that they aren't getting any presents because I emptied my wallet ballasting the track! Soli Deo Gloria Quote

Max_Bricks Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Pdaitabird that setup looks phenomenal. I like the train and train station builds the most and its cool how they circle your tree! I also have a LEGO Christmas layout, however with LEGO's winter village set they release each year! Be sure to post again if you make any updates to your layout because I will check it out! :) Quote
Pdaitabird Posted November 25, 2019 Author Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) @Max_Bricks Thanks! I'll be sure to post updates and more detailed shots soon! Edited November 25, 2019 by Pdaitabird Quote
sed6 Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Super cool! I run LGB under my tree each year and it takes a beating with kids and presents. I don't have the guts to do that with Lego. Good for you! Quote
SteamSewnEmpire Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Nice. I wish the tree was real :/. The locomotive looks great with lights. Quote
Pdaitabird Posted November 26, 2019 Author Posted November 26, 2019 @sed6 @SteamSewnEmpire Thanks! Here are a few shots of various parts of the layout, starting with the locomotive. It has its own topic here. A flatbed wagon with an antique car: A wagon full of coal (the residents of my Christmas village must be on the naughty list!): And a brake van to round out the rolling stock: The station holds a 9v battery to power the lights. The switch is accessible from the back. The maintenance shop also features lighting: The level crossing is based on those seen on rural British lines. And finally, the controller. When friends who have young children visit, the kids have a tendency to run the motor at top speed and change direction suddenly. To preserve my only Lego speed regulator, I made a simpler version out of a gutted smoke detector and a light switch. One speed, one direction, on/off control powered by a 9v battery. Presenting the "Frankenstein" controller! Thanks for looking and merry Christmas! Soli Deo Gloria Quote
Max_Bricks Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Wow the pictures really make me appreciate the build even more, you did an excellent job on building the train, car, building and ext. You definitely have a knack for building, so keep it up! Quote
zephyr1934 Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Oh what fun it is to ride in a... lego train! What a great little town of MOCs Quote
Pdaitabird Posted November 27, 2019 Author Posted November 27, 2019 @zephyr1934 Thanks! I've added another building to the layout - there are more pictures of the Reformation Pub over in the town forum. Quote
Man with a hat Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Nice! We are getting in the spirit now. And that level crossing is really great. I like that one. Quote
