Somehow I managed to keep work going on my magical Christmas train, after all I've set deadline for it to be finished by Christmas
So I created gear mechanism that will add extra curiosity to train for anyone and by moving this gear cabin moves forward and backward allowing viewer to see and open boiler door.
I also added extra wheels at the front as I have something cool in my mind.
and on top of this i started work on sliding doors and have 1 almost finished. At the start I wanted to have them doors open close like on previous train, but then I liked idea about sliding doors. Challenge here was to make it freely open and close by someone like my youngest kid, he's 3. i usually give my train to him for quick test and see what he can manage to break in first couple of minutes while playing with it. Whatever he breaks i make a bit stronger Sometimes it doesn't work out, so I keep an eye on him and take his destruction skill to account while making next pieces

The train is looking good....
I like the wheels setup BUT am confused at the sprocket gear.
Do I have to wait for the next lot of WIP photos & build notes or do you put me out of my misery now??
