I created several animated holiday window displays for my favorite local bakery. Purpose was to entertain neighborhood children and to get parents to visit the shop. Easter, July 4th, Halloween, and Christmas exhibits have been done for 2 years so far.
Two 1/150 N Scale trains run on a compact layout in a 18”x26” baking sheet pan. The local main street is realistically modeled with buildings, vehicles, and people. Realistic landscape covers the outside of the pan and it can be changed seasonally.
Above the trains, I made custom 4’ diameter mobiles to fly 1/144 Scale aircraft and other objects. A disco ball motor rotates the mobile.
Although I am a strict N Scale modeler, half of the holiday exhibits include quite oversized fantasy figures and objects to fascinate small children.
Design, construction, operation, and audience experience were challenging and time-consuming. I finally evolved the exhibit to be practical for bakery staff to setup and run without too much of my involvement. With this video, I am happy to show my results and lessons learned, especially to anyone considering trying something similar.
I appreciate comments, but I often don’t read them for weeks. I sometimes reply to specific important questions. If I definitely covered your question in the video and you didn’t notice or didn’t watch that far, I probably won’t reply. If similar questions appear often though, I might even cover them in a follow up video.
