Our 2011 Christmas Tree and Layout right after the first good snow fall.
This year I tried using an up and over folded figure-8 along with the TW Design bridge that when into the paint shop a year ago.
Santa waves at every train that goes by.
Here is a slide from arounnd 1979-1980. After running 3 ho sets around the tree.

Rixter -- FANTASTIC layout! I hope Allan Miller is looking -- your work needs to be chronicled in OGR!

Paul, I like how you handled the crossover, right in front. Different. Very nice.
David, I'm looking forward to your piece in the magazine, and also to another video including some wind-up Marx trains!
Walt, interesting and complex track plan this year!
Rixster, you did a great job making it feel like a place and not just a collection of buildings. I wish I could walk around there!

That's Scruffy-Kitty. She's a rumpy Pixie Bob (or so we're told). Christmas is her favorite time of year. There's so much to play with.
Here are some more critter pictures.

Here a few pictures of our modest efforts for 2011.
These are the Polar Express loop in the living room.
This one is a G gauge train, but it is under our family room tree.
Looks Good. Merry Christmas.

Thanks PD! But I think there's plenty better ones here, not sure I can compete . I'm also missing the gingerbread/fruitcake/candycane requirement.
