CP Holiday Train stage car with some modifications! “New Video “

Really cool Chris! Where did you get the band and the Christmas tree? I believe you have the Railking version so does the stage car look to large with the RK cars?

The band is Woodland scenic painted to look more Christmas like. The tree I had from a craft store and the LED’s are from Evan Designs. The car is a bit taller but real train box cars weren’t all the same size anyway. It looks fine I think. 

Fantastic! Thanks for posting.

That was awesome!

That’s really nice detailing of the interior. I always knew that the Premier holiday train cars had extra lights along the bottom, but I didn’t know that they were longer and a darker color too.  Interesting.  

Loved the band and tree. 

I got mine and there is a big difference in color  from the 4 car set. It’s almost a brown color or dark maroon. Also the leds are larger in size and no white roof. I can paint the roof but can change the dark color. Looks a bit awkward with the premiere 4 car set. 

Have you ever seen the real CP Holiday Train?  MTH did a pretty good job on matching the colors of both the 4 car set and the stage car.  The stage car should be dark maroon.

That is awesome!

Here is a picture of the real car and the color. I keep all the red cars together spelling out the train and the stage car at the end. I think the different color adds some contrast to the consist. 

Very cool Chris, you did a nice job.

Chris    Neat.

What sort of glue do you use to attach the band figures to the stage floor ?

Goop. I almost use it for everything!  Great stuff if you want to keep something glued down and it’s flexible.
