Christmas Layout
This HO layout features a Bachmann Thomas Christmas set and houses,
shops, Churches and Trees with Christmas lights flashing and plenty of snow. It also has working street lights and sevral HO scale Santa Clauses. It has been to five Wanganui Model Railway & Engineering Society Xmas Shows as well as their last big show in September 2015 and also to Silver Stream railway Lower Hutt for the Christmas event on two occasions. I now have a big issue with the track going rusty. The track I used is the standard Bachmann steel track that came with the xmas Thomas starter set. Since I have put the snow on the layout it has rusted. The rust is slowly starting to mark the snow (see photos). I have learnt my lesson, I will now only use the nickel silver track in future builds. This layout is now under rebuild, it will be available for displays again once finished.
The Layout size is 1.5m long by 1.1m wide.
