UPDATE: since we don't have the trains set up in the new house yet, I thought maybe you might enjoy seeing this again.

 Looking as you enter the room.

 I turned the flash on so you could really see the buildings even though they aren't as pretty with the flash:)

There are people decorating the tree, you can see them better ion the next picture.

 The trains can go through or over the mountain.
