Happy Christmas to all at RMweb 2022

Click the link to see my latest Christmas Train diorama for 2022.  This is version three over the last three years - the others have been given to friends.   Someone bought me one of these cheap Christmas battery operated trains as a bit of joke a few years back and I decided to put it to good use  - surprising how much fun you can have with something so cheap and tacky!  

 

The 'Cold Mountain' scene is just cardboard and paper mache with a bit of polyfiller rubbed over it to give some relief.  Spray snow was applied once the coat of grey paint had dried.

 

Enjoy and a very Happy Christmas to you all.  Have a great new year of modelling.

I think I made some sort of an error with the first link!  It's my age I'm afraid - I'll never get the hang of this internet lark!

Thanks for that Mike, quite an experience. Noisy too! 😄

 

I think that's the smartest solution to the christmas tree train I've seen yet. There's even room for presents.

I hope you'll have a good christmas, and a decent entry into the new year.

Cheers Mikkel.  I spent an enjoyable hour looking at that blog - some brilliant adaptations of these cheap sets.  Who says this hobby has to be an expensive pastime?  Thanks for the link and all the best to you and your family.
