Jasonville Express!!!

Jason was lucky enough to receive a Christmas bonus this year from his boss and wanted to know if he could use some of it to finish his track for Christmas. For the last few years Jason has wanted to create a Christmas village with a traintrack and station running through it. Well this year he finally acheived it.

With his Christmas money he bought some secondhand track and secondhand locomotives and carraiges from his local model train shop. He brought home some white wood cutoffs from work and constructed a layout with tunnel. He has mounted a powerboard and system at the back ready to gradually add more street lights and houses throughout his village. At the moment thisis just the beginning.
Jason wants to add white snow features and grass and trees, people,shops and houses but for now we are lucky to have it still look fantastic. We have it run slowly above the television each night. Jacob loves it and Charllotte is fascinated with it. All for way under $80, (he's clever when he puts his mind to his trains)


Look for changes and developments next Christmas! It's a work in progress! I absolutely love it. This is one of the reasons why I love him! He's so clever. And brings so much joy to the kids with his passion and skills.
