I started watching a video like this and then fell asleep. There was a diesel locomotive passing a group of Swiss style homes at Christmas. The train looked itty bitty so I think it was Z gauge. Does anyone know the video?
What do Swiss homes look like? Boxy, but good.
This should really be in the General Model Train Discussion.
I have no answer to this. But I will add that the look in the Polar Express is Norwegian and the real train ride is the Arctic Circle Express.
