N and HO trains running IN my Christmas Tree Video

Here is a video of my Christmas Tree from this past Holiday season.

O gauge running under the tree.

HO running in the middle of the tree.

Nice display.

What do you use to hold the rings in place and stable?

Cat and grandchildren preclude such an attempt at this location for a few years.

Have fun,

Here’s is how I made the HO and N tracks the are located IN the Christmas tree. For the HO layout I made a ring out of 5/8" particle board. The ring is supported in the tree at three points. Three wood dowels that project out horizontally from the tree tunk. The three dowels are suported by three thin steel wires wires that are attached higher in the tree trunk and are then attached near the outer ends of the dowels. The tips of the three dowels then hold up the ring. The N gauge track is made in the same way except that the ring is made from1/4" plywood.
