Re: 10249 Winter Village Toy Shop Christmas Tree
Thought I'd post a pic of the tree in the Christmas layout, now that I have it basically completed. I think this is the earliest I have ever completed a layout for a show, 10 days away.

Re: Friends Hot Dog Cart

Re: Wiper contact
This slip ring would be useful for the Wind Turbine (Set 4999) too! I've wanted to have a blinking red light on the tip of each of the blades.
