Thanks for the great comment. That was my original platform, unfortunetly I had to take it down, but this past Christmas I put it up again rearranging it a little. Please look at the two other videos that I made of my current design. I made it bigger and used less space and also made some other improvements.

Great track plan. It is interesting and it breaks up the perception that the train is going in circles.

The elves are ho scale unpainted figures, I hand painted them red and green and then glued them into place. I hope to add more for next year. I made the department store building out of thin balsim wood and printed a small brick pattern on thick paper for the walls. For the sign I just printed it on plain paper, glued it from the inside and then just lit the building.

The snow that I used for the entire platform, including the cars, came in big plastic bags and is just craft, plastic snow or department 56 snow. I bought some at Home Depot (christmas department)and some at our local christmas shop. I only dropped it on the train cars and it stayed on pretty much by itself.

I actually layed out the track the way I wanted it and then I sawed out 1/4 inch plywood to support the track around the mountain. The rise of the track is .5″ per track section. I supported the plywood probably approximatly every 16 ” and screwed the supports to the table. after I made sure it worked good, I used chicken wire screen to form the mountain and then covered it with newspaper and plaster. after that white paint and fake snow. hope that helps!
