My parents shipped us my dad's old (HO size) Tyco train set. Immediately we spread the whole thing out on the floor and set it up. For a few days I tried to get it to work, but to no avail. Seems the engine had a broken wheel, so Jason (our landlord) took us to a train store where we picked up a new Amtrak engine...and after a few hours of sanding down the tracks (to clean off the corrosion?), we got it working.
Our elaborate figure eight set-up (above) was a bit rickety. But I love the raised track in the center, so we might incorporate that into the final set-up. For now the train is on a simple oval around the tree (see the video below). I'm loving it! Time to set up the snow and the village...
We added a snow scene!
