Hello! Just joined this forum! Here are a few pics of my layout. I do a theme park, with lots of homemade rides. I run two O mainline loops, a bump and go trolley, two Disney monorails, and a N scale kiddie train. Every year we do a holiday show with music, lights, lasers, and fireworks, all run by a small laptop.
Cheers,
Don W.

Welcome and thank you for joining this wonderful OGR Forum, where you will meet some really nice folks, many highly talented model railroaders, and some are experts at wiring, repairing, and some with much knowledge with real railroad history. You will meet folks that love pre-war, post war, and modern era trains, novelty, real, and of course high tech models...It’s All here and your going to have a lot of fun reading their comments. Thank You for the beautiful pictures of a really cool layout. I like porcelain building and all the lights mixed with trolley cars and trains. Your display is awesome.

Welcome to the Forum, Don! That looks like a really exciting place, your layout! You have done a great job!!
Wow, this is incredible. I don't think I've ever seen a choreographed model train show like this. It's just like you are watching something at Disney itself. Great, great job.
Very unique - love the layout, Don.

DON731,
I agree with Old Newbie. Your creative use of lighting sets your layout apart from everything else seen here. I suspect you have some very extensive experience with electronics and special effects. The visual experience you've created is absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing the photos and, especially the video. I wish you would share some of your techniques with us sometime.

Thanks! Mostly self taught! I use the Light-o-Rama system used by folks who do the huge outdoor displays at Halloween and Christmas. Disney Parks are always an inspiration, and I like to try anything new they do there (hacked the glow mouse ears a couple of years ago). Cheers!
WELCOME!
Nice layout looks like FUN!
Wow, does that ever look like a fun layout to watch! Thanks for sharing it and welcome.

What a fun layout. I love all the unique rides you have on display. The video's lighting effects and music bring the layout to life. Thanks for sharing.
Fabulous, stunning holiday theme layout.
Welcome Don. You are obviously a very talented model railroader to have created such a display. Loved your video of your 2018 Holiday Show. Arnold
