Ripley's Christmas Train Layout 2016 - It is HERE! - ripley802 - 10-24-2016 Ok, I know it is only October and in fact Halloween haven't even happened yet, but at my house we are already working on putting out the Christmas things. From indoor decorations to outdoor decorations and lights, but most important, the Thomas/Plarail custom Christmas layout. I did one last year which was pretty extensive but this one was much more intricate. I am still putting some details into it so not read to show anything yet, but here is a nice place holder for the pics. ![]() ![]() Here is a link to my layout last year: http://www.blueplastictracks.com/showthread.php?tid=1163&highlight=Christmas+layout RE: Ripley's Christmas Train Layout 2016 - Coming Soon!! - Super - 10-24-2016 ![]() RE: Ripley's Christmas Train Layout 2016 - Coming Soon!! - DalaGStanator - 10-24-2016 If only we Jews had holidays that were worth working on these kinds of things for. What would be so impressive about a Hanukkah, Shavuot or Passover layout? The Christians do such an amazing job at luring others and causing sinful envy.... ![]() RE: Ripley's Christmas Train Layout 2016 - Coming Soon!! - sunhuntin - 10-24-2016 where does religion come into it? just because its a christmas layout, it could easily be a new years layout, or his cousin's son's birthday layout. or a layout just for the fun of building it and using different techniques for different effects. if you want to build something for hanukkah or another jewish holiday, whats stopping you? i build a layout for my clubs christmas show every year, but we are not a religious club. i dont even know if any of them follow a religion. certainly its never mentioned, and thats how it should be. as close to a church we ever get is hiring tables for our big shows. RE: Ripley's Christmas Train Layout 2016 - Coming Soon!! - Nigels - 10-24-2016 I agree with Sun, why not have a special layout, you could even do one for Diwali which is this coming weekend if you like Dala ![]() RE: Ripley's Christmas Train Layout 2016 - Coming Soon!! - ripley802 - 10-24-2016 Yeah, to be honest I am not religious at all, just love the holiday and the time of the year. A Christmas layout is fun to build too, which is also a plus. ![]() RE: Ripley's Christmas Train Layout 2016 - Coming Soon!! - Nigels - 10-25-2016 (10-24-2016, 07:36 PM)ripley802 Wrote: Yeah, to be honest I am not religious at all, just love the holiday and the time of the year.

I second that, but I got a contingency plan to get a priest to absolve me if I ever get deathly ill just in case there is something in it lol! Meanwhile I'll happily celebrate Christmas, New Year, Chinese New Year, Diwali, you name it, bring it on and spread the happiness!! ![]() RE: Ripley's Christmas Train Layout 2016 - Coming Soon!! - ripley802 - 11-23-2016 Well it is not 100% the way I wanted it and I am planning on adding some more LEDs when I have a chance provided Christmas is not here first.. ![]() There is sound too. I am hoping to be able to get s short video as well with trains running on all of the tracks. Also.. I think this is my 1000th post.. ![]() First are some with the lights on.. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And lights off... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() RE: Ripley's Christmas Train Layout 2016 - It is HERE! - ActionChugger - 11-23-2016 Very nice! RE: Ripley's Christmas Train Layout 2016 - It is HERE! - Super - 11-23-2016 That is awesome Ripley. I especially like the snow white mountain atop the subway tunnels. Are those light up houses Dept 56? Anxious for the video and some festive music. |
