For Β£10.99 (including battery) a great bargain which runs all day. This was mine when I bought it...

No snow on mine but you could make one for the kids by next Christmas.

In the states, Lionel O gauge trains were the norm under the tree for many years. And still is in our house. Set is my father's Lionel 0-27 train set from 1948. Tree is a live one again this year, the fake one stayed in storage again this season. Merry Christmas. Mike and Michele T

Mike that's a great looking tree and it always seems fitting to see a loco running around the base of the tree. Merry Christmas Mike. :santa: :santa: :reindeer:

Thanks everybody, If you look closely, in the upper left corner you can see the overhead G scale shelf layout that goes around the room. I do sometimes run my Merlin live steamer up there during the long winter months. I just raise steam on a table then set him up there with oven mitts. Mike the Aspie
