I built this train in 2009 - in 2011 - i added the LED lights to it - It draws crowds to the local club's layout i volunteer with At The Annual Southern Christmas Show in Charlotte NC. This year was the 46th year of the show and over 30 for the club. I get emails from visitors every year before the show making sure i am coming with the Christmas train as well as the club sending me emails. Enjoy the video - excited kids and adults

I saw this train in person a couple years ago at the Charlotte Christmas Show - the video does not do it justice. It's no wonder they want you to bring it! Amazing job!

No part  - I'm from WV. The state agency I work for used to have a booth down there every year and a couple years ago I managed to get some free admission passes to the show and we went down (more or less to see the big train layout!). Was definitely worth the drive, and was pretty impressed with the whole show. That thing is HUGE!

mytyco - catfordken - Thank you
microbusss - Yes - N scale train with HO people - I will get you a christmas car done when i get some time
shaygetz - Yes - lots of window cleaner use daily on the plexiglass - every module has several replacement panes on hand as they have been broken during the show in past - the club is prepared for about anything that can or will go wrong when doing a venue as big as this
LOL at "BTW...Billy Joe Ray Bob and Bubba are on their way over...they WILL get your secret to the sparkle finish "

EM-1 = Yes - Thank You
walt = Yes - there are people every year who still are seeing it for the first time - Of all the trains shows i have attended where there are model railroads set up - none get the reaction that this Christmas train creates - Its a great feeling to bring a little excitement in this world today - with all the hi tech games and devices - this is an achievement hard to accomplish today - trains still excite kids
babuff - Yes - Thank You
