How to keep a
Christmas Trolley running for 31 days in December!
As many of you may know, I have
had some sort of holiday train or trolley or incline in front of
our home every year for the last 10 or 12 years. The
challenge is keeping them running each and every day from
December 1 through January 1. The good news is that I have
come up with a circuit and track power method that has them
running for between 5 hours (on weekdays) and 18 hours
(weekends) each day throughout the season.
Here is a link to the magic
inside of my trolleys:

and an updated circuit is here:

Hopefully some of the tips there
will help to keep your trains running, too.
