How to Pick a Toy Train That Travels Around a Christmas Tree

Picking a Christmas Train for around your tree can be challenging but, it can also be fun!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Internet Connection
• Credit/Debit Card
• Automobile
• Tape Measure
• Patience

1. This will give you an idea of how to measure! First you will need the diameter of your tree and stand in order to determine the diameter of your ideal train set.
   - Check the box for the diameter of your tree at the base.
   - If you want the train at the outer edge of the tree this will be
   necessary
2. Ok, now you have the diameter. Begin your shopping online or in-store.
   - Pay attention to the diameter of your train set.
   - Consider the diameter your stand will take up in order to determine
   how close to the edge your train will be.
3. Determine how your train set is powered and operated. If you only want a small, cheaper system then a battery operated constant running system is what you want.
   If you wish to have the ability to stop and start your train set it may cost you a bit more. And will probably need to be able to plug your train in!

Tips & Warnings

• Always follow instructions and warnings for your train set
• Enjoying your train set is based entirely on your choices and preferences
• Avoid leaving train set running all day and night to prevent over-heating
• Avoid plugging too many things into one outlet to prevent electrical fires
