About my display
Magic Christmas has over 200,000 lights which include many special effect lights. Probably the most dynamic and crowd pleasing are the 400 plus strobes that vary in size and intensity. Walter has designed and built a very unique Christmas train that travel through a forest of Christmas trees. He also broadcast the music that is synchronized to the light show over a low power FM frequency.
Old toys are outlined with rope lights and are hung from two oak trees as ornaments. Other elements include massive bubbles as well as handmade quilted pieces.

After Hurricane Issac
Walter and Jackie Monkhouse replied to Don In Kenner-LA's topic in Computerized Displays
It is good to hear your home was not totaled and you were not injured. We had very little damage , but lost our air conditioning due to electrical spikes . Good luck with your train. -
Looks like you have a real nice pole . Don't know if the Portable Hole will work for your situation or not, but shoot me an email at walter @magicchristmas and lets talk .

Need Help Identifying This Christmas Song
Walter and Jackie Monkhouse replied to drummerj12001's topic in Music of Christmas
Sounds like maybe a style of early Bert Kaempfert . [Wonderland By Night , Red roses For A Blue Lady, Three O'clock In The Morning]. I ran the recordings side by side and it seems to mimic his arrangements. -
Colormotions Tree
Walter and Jackie Monkhouse replied to Walter and Jackie Monkhouse's topic in Mega-Trees
Look at pg 6 and 7 of the tutorial. The 3/4 " flange should fit exactly [with it's own bolts and nuts] between the large bolt heads of the 2" flange. A small amount of filing on the 3/4 " flange edges might be necessary to remove excess castings. -

That Topper looks good. A 3/4 " floor flange for a Star or other top piece will fit between those 4 holes in the middle. -
We will be attending the Miss Mini. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.
