One of mine, and I'm sure yours too, favorite thing about Christmas is the Tree with the train going around it! I was tempted to run Tyco around mine this year but as usual my Lionel F3s and Hudson won out (expect a video soon.) Do you put up a tree and train? If so is it Tyco, Lionel,...? Post pictures too if you want.

Mine is a mixture of Tyco and AHM. The JW Bowker is a smooth runner and is hauling gifts in Pine Hill gondolas. A combine brings up the rear.
Looking forward to your video.

18-inch radius. I'm using standard Bachmann EZ track.

I could see that much, I just wasn't sure since it does come in larger radii.
However, in my case 18" is all I have, so I'm not sure I'd be able to do it even if I was inclined (which I'm not, because dogs and cat) because we have a really big fat tree stand.

OK got it.  You could add straights into the circle to get a larger circumference or Bachmann also sells 26-inch and 28-inch radius circles. I'm sure the dogs and cat will appreciate any size circle you choose - all the dogs and cats I've met have been avid rail buffs.  Cats sometimes pretend they're not but they really are.

Ours would be more likely to knock trains over
