Lionel Polar Express Trains and Trolley Operating Session.
In this video, I’ll be running trains on all three tracks. And I’m starting right now.
Hi, I’m Owen. In these videos, I’m continuing to build, expand, and improve my Lionel Polar Express O-gauge Model Railroad. I recently bought 50 O-scale figures from ebay. This is one of them. I’ll include a link to the ebay listing in the description below. Placing these figures around my layout will add realism to my Polar Express model railroad.
Some of the figures are made in sitting positions, but most are standing or walking. One of the challenges with these figures is the manufacturer’s paint job. Just about all of these figures need to be repainted before I can place them on my layout. Some of the paint colors are inappropriate, and some colors have been misapplied. That is, the paint is either missing from where it should be, or has been applied where it shouldn’t be. For example, the paint used for trousers also covers most of the shoes. I’m repainting each figure before I place it on my layout.
Here's a Link to the ebay listing for these figures:

Another challenge is that many of the figures are in summer clothing. So I have to alter them to make them appear to be wearing winter coats. For that, I’m using Tamiya Putty, Basic Type. This putty is made for repairing or altering, plastics. Tamiya Putty is available at most hobby shops.
First, I’ll show you the figures that I’ve place on my layout. Then we’ll run the trains and the trolley.
The first place I chose for placing these figures was on the Pedestrian Bridge that connects the Polar Express Passenger Station with the Depot and Boarding Platform. Let me know where else you suggest placing these figures by leaving a comment.
Running the trains is still a bit of a challenge using the Lionel LionChief Plus 2.0 App. However, if I'm careful and take it slow, I can usually get just the train I want to run to connect with the App. However, the locomotives still will connect and disconnect unexpectedly from time to time.
This operating session will include both fully lighted and subdued lighting segments. Running in subdued lighting shows off the lights on the Layout to the best advantage. Running up the grade to Track Number Three will be done fully lighted. Then I'll switch to subdued lighting for the rest of the session. Lots more videos coming in 2021
