This may be what Andrew sees on Christmas morning (only not on its legs in the garage, but on the dining room table). The trains themselves will be wrapped in 'Santa' paper, along with the power pack and probably the buildings & autos.
I bought a Kato rerailer (the little blue plastic strip over on the yard tracks) at the LHS for 97 cents plus tax and it's well worth more than that, IMO. Hopefully he finds it helpful too.
I had fun 'operating' tonight, er, testing the wiring. Yeah, that's it. I added a couple jumpers on the inner stub sidings for electrical reliability, then touched up the paint where the Sharpie marker had strayed beyond what the cork covered. I decided the turnouts were well supported already and didn't need additional cork beneath the switch machines.
That's all for now. Merry Christmas, everybody!

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
