Who here has already put up their Christmas tree? And how many of you have put a train around that tree? I've got my Lionel Polar Express set up around the tree, with this nifty extension cord with switch (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Do-it-Best-Do-it-16-2-Extension-Cord-With-Switch/120384897) that was long enough so that I could sit at my computer and turn it off and on whenever I want to run the train around the train. I also made sure to flip the direction switch (which is hidden in the cab) to forward only, so that it only goes forward and does not cycle thru the E-unit's reverse mechanism whenever power is applied to the track. However, two of my cat's have already knocked over two cars while underneath the tree, resulting in me having to climb underneath there and re-railing the two cars.
