(...) John - Thanks for the compliments & feedback. I had thought about "bragging" in my original post that I am at least clued in enough to know that the proper train width is 8 studs wide. I picked up this tip from the GMLTC folks during (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.fun.holiday, lugnet.trains)

I like a lot of the details-- lights, wreaths, etc. Though it seems, however, that you have already picked up the most valuable building tip you could get -- to build your train 8 wide!! {:^D As an aside, trains which run (...)

Season's Greetings Fellow LEGO-Fans! I saw Adrian's post the other day about the Christmas Train that he had built and it inspired me to get mine finished.
