Ever see a train running at eye-level around the middle of a Christmas tree??

[N.H.&I.railfan]

Does anyone on this board have or remember Bachmann's Trim a Tree n scale ac powered freight train set sold during the 1990's? It was quite unique featuring a track system holding a circular track from the center of a real or artificial Christmas tree at about mid tree or eye level height. A real visual treat and conversation piece for all who saw it. Just the other day, a tv shopping service featured a cheap battery operated version which sold out within minutes before the presentation was even finished. Wonder if Bachmann might consider reissuing an updated version of this set, possibly with a holiday themed loco and rolling stock? This could be a definite merchandise winner for Bachmann. Thoughts on this from fellow forum members or the Bachmann Man?

Sounds cool.

You could make one I would use small scale for sure or your tree may wobble withthe rotation of the train.

I have often thought of building a circle bridge for around the tree at Christmas to elevate the train instead of having my g scale under the tree.

I have just the layout design for you...especially if you have a cat(s). This is from the fertile mind of Carl Arendt and is on his website:

We have a feline who is fascinated by model trains and would love this layout (if she could get her cleaning staff to build it).
