Seasons Greetings!  Here is my Wintry Funicular Railway.  I have re-purposed the Winter Village Train Station as an upper and lower station.  The winch and winch housing 'level' of my modular mountain is built mainly from the Friends ski lift.  I would most welcome advice on how to improve the funicular carriage, which uses some of the school bus pieces.  I have not built a vehicle before, and found the different level axles very challenging, it works ok but is not robust or elegant!

I am pleased with the open platform in the lower station.

The east face of my mountain is a WIP and will include ski runs.  Obviously the mountain is vertically challenged!  I have rebricked the fire station to make it shorter, and converted Santa's Workshop into a train station.

That’s a clever use of the Station & bus build. I like the hill you built for it

Wow, I really love the concept! It'd be cool to cover up some of the stud pieces, but it already looks great with them.
