I thought it would be a good idea to make my father-in-law a Christmas Train for his tree after he hinted that one sure would be cool, last year. So I built this one:
.

It turned into a rather large project figuring I would need directions for him, so I decided to make a limited run of 10 of them to sell (currently listed on AuctionBrick.com, and one on ebay - see the auction group for details on that). Each has a custom box, branded with the brand of Horseshoe Bend Ranch, which the line is named after (that and the ghost town of Horseshoe Bend, located on the ranch).

Other details of note are BBB wheels (used on boiler and smokestack too), engraved number plates (unique numbers on each engine), engraved nameplates on tender and passenger car, and engraved logo on caboose, and a superbright PegLight on the front. Plus there a lighted firebox in the engine, working driverods, and details inside all the cars. And there are people (including Santa) and all the needed track to go with the set.

Here are are some more pics of the cars. Enjoy!

--SNIP-- (...) This is such a lovely little train. I don't usually go for steamers but this one is just so sweet. I'm sure your father-in-law will love it. Tim (19 years ago, 14-Dec-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
