Rolling Stock Christmas Decorations

Real nice idea, Bobby Ogage.

In Moon Township, we have the annual village Christmas parade down the main drag which has been temporarily decorated for the Season. Here are a few playfull moments from part of it...

Is that picture in your original post real?  Where is it from?  Just beautiful and I want to be there.  Straight out of Polar Express with all of that blue and white surrounding the train.

Locomotive 2141 was built as a coal-burning engine in 1912 in Kingston, Ontario for the Canadian Northern Railway and is the only survivor of the 25 constructed. The 2-8-0 originally hauled freight, passenger and mixed trains on the prairies. It was converted to burn oil in 1948 and spent its last years of service on Vancouver Island until 1958 when it was retired by the Canadian National. The railroad was going to scrap the engine, but was saved when the city of Kamloops paid $2000 to deliver it for public display.

We named our family elf on the shelf "Jingles" and I think we will start a tradition that he comes on a thanksgiving Eve (so tomorrow).  Jingles usually flies back and forth to the North Pole to report on my 2 and 5 year old's behavior....but the first day he comes, he arrives on a gondola.....

just a kit bashed Lionel gondola I spray painted in whatever the red cranberry type spray paint that AC Moore has.  I then had our neighbor donthe lettering since she does outdoor vinyl lettering.  A bit of an overhang but does the trick.  

Happy holidays!
