Wonderful video. Sometimes I get real wrapped up in the details of model railroading. Thanks for the reminder of what it is truly about. (Enjoyment). Kind of surprised at how many girls were interested in the trains. Unspoken expectations are premeditated failures.

NC ShortLines and farace - Thanks - Takes about 4 days to set this up - this is done every year - The clubs motto is to have FUN running trains and they don't mind as anything goes for the Christmas show as you are entertaining thousands daily and everyday you see different trains as who ever is operating -brings their own trains in to run - you see it all - I have some plans next year to run some billboard trains

Who said kids aren't interested anymore in model trains? The Glitter Express sure was a hit. So much so I think Mr Bachmann was taking notes! Thank you for the video, Brianstyco, it was great!

Very nice christmas train! I see much glitter in my future as my wife really wants to do something like what you have done. It should be a ton of fun. My wife also wanted me to ask you what the song/artist in the video is?
Thanks Mike

The glitter i used is Super fine and little more expensive that standard glitter- standard glitter is too big. On my way to work - Send me your addressto my pm box and i will send a your wife a CHristmas cd with some great christmas jams - most of which they don't play on raido stations - don't know why. Will include the songs from the video. The second song was edited for video but will be full length on cd - Thanks MyTyco

Wow, now THAT'S magical - watching the little young faces enjoy the trains and the holiday season. I love that glitter train, now I want to try making one. LOL! I think a nice BN scheme with red and green paint would be terrific. Awesome job, man. Thanks for sharing that video.
