RE: Under The Christmas Tree Once again

[freescopesdad]

My main layout is Kato N in the garage, but I recently was given a new Bachmann HO set with an oval of track, steam loco and 3 cars. I have decided, since we are staying home this year for Christmas, that I would put the layout under the tree. I got some extra NS EZ track on eBay, and came up with the attached plan. Small, but I am only allowed 50x42 inches so I tried to make it interesting. I'm surprised that the 18" radius track takes up so much space, so I downsized slightly to 15". I have an oval I/O carpet I picked up, and the gray square is roughly where the 3 legs of the tree stand will go. There is a bunch of wiggle room there. I picked up an artificial snowy tree skirt and some of those porcelain Kinkade Christmas houses and lights. My granddaughter is 21 months old on Christmas and already loves trains.

Here is the track plan, I'll post the actual layout closer to the holidays.
