The next couple of pages will cover a few aspects and theories of building a train to be used in your yard as part of your
Christmas display. This is not intended to be a step by step instruction guide as each of you have different
skill sets, resources, and budgets. There are many different ways a train can be built however; I will be
illustrating what has worked for me and what has not.
Do your research and have a plan! This is the most important step to start with. Have an idea of what you
want your train to look like and how many cars you plan to add over the years. Building an engine to pull
one car is not very different than an engine to pull six cars but motor and battery selection choices could
be significantly different. Find a model train, picture, or some kind of example of what you want your train
to look like. You can add as much detail to the final product as you want or your budget/time will allow.
OK, you have a plan and you have an idea of what you want
so let’s get started.
