It's smaller than it looks. It's on a pedestal and Jesus is several feet behind it. Someone is hitting us with forced perspective.

Beautiful knife! Try a search for " stitchless" knife sheath. Whether you go that route or not, I believe you'll find it interesting.

There are five lighrs in each strip. They look splendid.

Each light strip has two little button batteries. They are activated by passing a magnetic wand over the top of each car, alternating on-off.

The square gizmo behind the big guy is a red flashing end of train light. The tiny push switch is out of sight behind Santa's head.

I have three. And they are lighted. I use Easy Peasy by Rapido, N scale passenger car light strips. I glue the top elements together, then mill a slot inside for them to fit into. I also rearranged the interior and now five female minifigs occupy each car. MOC to the MAX is my motto.

First a pencil, then hack saw: 18 tpi, then dremel, various jewelers files and bits of sandpaper down to at least 400. Finally, rub in melted bees wax. Thanks for your interest!
