Christmas Trains and Vehicle Displays

The "movement" in the Christmas Train Set and all the other vehicle displays we sell comes from a multi-step animation controller that turns certain sections of the wheel lights on and off in sequence, to give the illusion of a spinning wheel. It fun, whimsical, and adds kinetic energy to your display.

Sort of. Our lighted Christmas vehicle displays come with professional-grade LED lights pre-attached to the powder-coated steel frame from the factory. The color scheme is part of the design and is set at the factory. However, all of the Brite Ideas branded displays do feature removable LED light bulbs. So, it is possible to go through and change the LED bulbs to make the item a different color. You can do this yourself after purchase (we can source the bulbs for you), or we can get you a quote on doing it on your behalf. It is a labor intensive process, though, so prepare for extra lead time on this customization.

Short answer: Yes.

All our displays are metal wireframe displays, and most don't stand on their own. Even when ground stakes are included with the display, they serve to keep the display grounded but don't keep the display from falling over. Our ground supports are very sturdy 5/8" steel rod with a unique "h" at the bottom for exceptional rigidity. We like them. But, pretty much any sturdy stake will do. 

Go to your local garden center and look for plant or landscape stakes. You'll find many different thicknesses and lengths. Bag twist-ties make for easy attachments to these. If wind is your main enemy, use fishing line and landscape staples to tie from the top/middle to the ground. And don't forget about natural support: you might want your display in front of a tree or a bush anyway, so use that for support.
