Santa's High Wire Short Line

Here's a short video (~20 seconds) of a short Holiday layout at SCGRR.

The 30lb monofilament serves two purposes. One is for looks as that trolly, if real, would run off a catenary wire. Secondly and more important, it serves as Santa's safety line should he stray from the line. It's about 11' to the ground and 43" to the deck surface.

I have also moved the right bumper back a bit to keep it from just bumping into it as it comes to a stop.

It just keeps going back and forth untill you Pull The Plug!

Next year I hope to add about 20' more of straight tack so it will run the entire length of the deck. But for now, "Small Budget, Small Results"!
