This year I raised the bar. I used a total of 6 switches AND the crosstrack! There is still the basic oval that goes around the tree and through the tunnel. But from there I mixed it up a bit. There is a loop that goes to the living room, another one that goes to the dining room and one loop covers both rooms and the tree. All the switches are powered from a central location, but when I tried to film, driving the fast camera truck, as well as the old passenger train and the Amtrak, choreography was impossible for one operator. Maybe when I can get the kids together to help me man the throttle & switches, we can film a better video. I'll also add more light, as this version is pretty dark in some spots.
Thanks for viewing and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
