I set up a circle around the tree several years ago, but not lately.
Ya know, a slot car track would be cool too.
Back when I was in the Navy I had a buddy from MN and his wife bought him a 1/32 scale slot car track from JC Penny's where she worked. We played with it a while and learned that a single car running got more power so we bought a second track, split the power feeds to run individual transformers for the two lanes, and finally took them apart and added a couple of hundred turns on the secondaries just for grins We wore all the tread off of the rear tires and had a ball messing with that track for several months. Had not thought about that slot car track for about 40 years
