Mike Mills' 2019 Christmas Layout


Introduction: Those of you who attended the last two SD train meets in the Lake Nona area will remember the show-and-tell events at Mike Mills'
Village Walk community center. Every year Mike sets up a Holiday Toy Train layout in that Community Center
for the enjoyment of the local residents and guests. This year the layout is greatly expanded with an addition
which takes it from a relatively compact rectangular layout to a large T-shaped layout.
This layout will remain up and operating through January 4th.

To make an appointment to visit the layout, contact Mike on his cell phone at 612-382-0325.

Bill Porter's 2019 Christmas Traveling Layout


While traveling over the holidays, think about taking a portable setup with you that is suitable for display and operation in a hotel room.
The mat is some green, indoor-outdoor carpet. The trains are a Bachmann N-Sacle Christmas train with their EZ Track.
The little houses are models of the ones where we have lived over the years. It all brings a touch of home while on the road.
