If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE COMMENTS. The strobe bar is from Miniatronics and MB they do make them in red. The second video is taking a very long time -but that is youtube sometimes. I will post the direct view here when it uploads. The kids make the video. The strobe light just added the excitement. Stowe Botanical is going to upload a direct link to these videos on their website sometime next week. This was their request - i was in awe as i wasn't expecting that. Many of the adults wanted to know if had any extra trains made up to sell as a complete set - if i'd only knew. The response to this train has exceeded my wildest expectations. You can't buy joy and happiness that has been expressed in the videos and it is an AWESOME feeling to have created this train and to see the excitement and smiles it has brought - kids still have the magic

That's just great. Botanical gardens are neat. We went to the one in Omaha, NE this summer when they were having a train show. It was a lot of fun.

I have to admit I was skeptical when you first showed a decorated Christmas car. But the videos show something entirely different. They really make an impressive display. Great job getting the kids excited!

Brian, excellent work! You should be very proud of your efforts!

Sharing our hobby is very important and at times forgotten. Displays like these inspire many to join this "world's greatest hobby"!

Thanks for sharing the images!

There's something about a train that's magic.

You'll have to try a steam loco next.
