TREE TRAIN
We tried for years to keep a train around the bottom of the tree but with kids, animals, and presents it was hopeless. So a few years ago I built a platform to put in the middle of the tree. The last three years I used an "N" scale train. This worked but the scale was still a little large because all I could do was a single loop around the tree. I wanted more.

So this year I bought a "Z" scale train. I used Lego bricks to make the bridge and raisers to see what I could do. I am happy with the flexibility the smaller scale gives me. Maybe in a few years I will build a real snow scape layout.

Tree top limbs are pulled up so I can work on the layout.
