These photos were taken over five years ago as Baby Buckeye and Mrs Buckeye set up the Polar Express at the daughters house. The buildings are from Sam’s Club and were illuminated using fiber optics. Today the layout has two tracks; the main and a handcar track.
Hopefully next year I can add some snow and more small details. Our 3 month old Cocker Spaniel will not allow it this year. [:|]
Nice, trains at Christmas are always the best ones.
I decided to forgo the HOn30 this year in favor of the Flyer. Mainly because I can’t run my 4-8-4 downstairs due to clearance problems under the viaduct. She runs like a deer and smokes like a champ!
From a couple years back… will have some updates next week…
Heres a couple more since I’ve done a little more work on the layout and cleaned it up some
I decided to keep the weaver BN
Good to see everyone getting into the spirit…
Working on the layout right now. There’s a few more things I want to add before I call it “done”. It’s not very elaborate, but I still need to hook up a few last accessories.
Here’s a sneak peak.
We held the anual Polar Express children’s program at the KATY Depot Museum last Saturday. My wife tells the Polar Express story and usually one or two others, Santa makes an appearance, and we have a 6’ by 9’ Polar Express layout running. Here are a few shots of this year’s edition - well, OK one shot. I can’t seem to make the forum and Photobucket play well together tonight.
Here are a couple of pictures from Christmas past. Not doing one this year since I am moving into my first home that I’ll own this week.
I love tham all! Keep em’ coming! [tup]

Here’s a shot of ours this year. We still haven’t gotten around to placing the people and the other small odds and ends. This year (and last year) we simplified it from the twice around with a 45 crossing to an oval so I can run Marx engines on it.
Merry Christmas,
