Polar Express Christmas 2011

My carpet layout has undergone several changes since my PE video last Christmas. Most notable is I now have an O-60 loop inside an O-72 loop. There are a couple sidings with operating accessories. I show some of these in this video. I hope you all enjoy this.

Lionel scale Polar Express
PM 1225 and Polar Express Tender.
Atlas RPO custom painted by Jeff Sohn.
K-Line Operating Milk Car painted by me.
Lionel scale Polar Express passenger coach and observation car. The observation car went through a heavy modification...done by me.
I airbrushed all roofs with Floquil Graphite then used Doc O'Brien's weathering powder to simulate wind blown snow.

Is the diesel and the tanker real?

[sunfiregts]

@thomasandfriends47 Both are as they come straight from Lionel. The tanker was one of the first two freight cars that Lionel put out in the Polar RailRoad name. The diesel was an uncatalogued item that Lionel offered in the 2010 Year end flyer.

Love it ! As a young boy loved to have train toys . I rode one in California . What a joyful ride !. For some of us dreams do come true .

@MrTejano44 Thank you. This set has been fun to work on. I had a toy train when I was young. Grew out of it and returned to the hobby several years ago. Boy have things changed.

I have been following your work on the OGR Forum and just have to say your little modifications are just incredible.  Thanks for sharing.

@snowmantrains Thank you! I had some accessories that I just didn't really have a spot for, but I had purchased them so cheap I couldn't pass up the deal. Since I redid the track plan, I was able to make room for them. There are still many improvements to come for my carpet layout so stay tuned ; )
