California Home Features Christmas Tree as Centerpiece of Massive Toy Train Hub

A California homeowner has transformed a Christmas tree into the center of a sprawling holiday display. The unique creation in Burbank features intricate, snow-dusted miniature villages surrounded by multiple layers of operating toy trains. The display turns the tree into a seasonal transportation hub. Dozens of model trains travel on tracks that circle through the festive scene. Resident Jeff Cote spent weeks building the elaborate setup. He says the project combines his family's love of Christmas with a personal passion for model railroading. The display has become a local attraction, drawing visitors to see the trains navigate tunnels and bridges under the tree's lights.
