The children seen in the video will forever remember the magic you created for them in the home with the beautiful village display with the trains running through 🤗
I know the comment is a year late but a great display!..brought back many memories…made me feel I was back with the family..just for a moment..thank you!
This is a pretty snow Town i ever seen i like the fact that you dont mixing olde Era and new this is victorian time which is just perfect. I love your Town.
Excellent! It's a beautiful display that had to take weeks to set up! I think it's so heartwarming and cozy. I want to jump in and be a part of it. Thankyou !
Absolutely perfect my friend. Hearing the sounds and seeing the trains....I sat here and started crying at 51 years old. I could sit and watch for hours. Although a a year or so back, I thank you for posting. Hope I can do the same as a tribute to my father. Thank you again.
Thank you for the kind comments and for watching. Assembling this layout has been a great tradition for my family and I (my kids are in the video). Believe it or not, this is only about a fourth of the layout we have, which will be completely displayed this year, so stay tuned! Thanks again
Getting started on this year’s Christmas Village, looking for ideas….wow you have an amazing collection ! And your trains are awesome! Great job thanks for the inspiration ❤

Outstanding!!! What a great job you did putting this huge village together. The trains stole the show. Kudos to you. I know your children must love this to death. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Just Awesome! Getting some ideas for our late village and train setup this year. 2021 was great and 2022 a spectacular design. Thank you and Merry Christmas
Thank you for the kind words and for taking a peek at the video, we love putting this together each year. May seem tedious at times trying to meticulously hide cords or bending each tree limb into perfect shape, but like you said, perfection is in the details. Thanks again

Awesome display and great video. It has been chosen as a "Village Video of the Month" selection on our website, and is highlighted on the "Village Videos" page of the site from April 15th until May 15th. Congratulations!
Beautiful layout and scenery. I love the houses with the dancers inside of them. Where can I purchase some? Of course I really enjoy all of your trains too. It makes Christmas magical
Thank you for watching, the homes with the dancers are from Department 56, here is a link to one of the main dancing pieces. Happy Holidays! retiredproducts.department56.com/products/fezziwigs-ballroom
That’s an impressive set up. Love it. I have felt 56 for my o guage as well, just not enough room to set up tight now. Are you using folding tables for your bases? Something I maybe trying for quick set up and break down.
You can tell they don't have any cats in their home... We have boxes of Dept 56 that we can no longer put out because our cats knock everything over and stuff gets broken.😒
Thanks for watching, the 2021 layout took up about 1000 sqft, took about 2 weeks to set up. The 2022 Layout (whole video coming soon) is about 2x times size. Took just under a month to create. You can see some glimpses of it on our other videos. Happy Holidays!
Absolutely love this. One question. I also have the Griswold house. In order to get the exterior lights on like shown in video. Do you push the button the back of the house? I can't place house anywhere out of reach due to have to constantly press button in order for outer lights to work. Kinda annoying
Thanks for watching, ours is the same, when we turn the whole display off and turn back on later we have to go click the button on the Griswold house separately to turn it on. Once for constant light, 2 for blinking lights.
My son has become very interested in model trains, and we have watched this video of your setup multiple times! Your collection of Dept 56 items & the trains is just amazing. I have a question about your Lionel track. I noticed you have dc power going into the track at multiple points. Is that required because your train track is so long, and do you have to power the track every so many feet? Thanks for sharing your setup with us to enjoy on RU-vid!
Thanks Tim. All the trains are O-gauge, all tracks are Lionel FasTrack, LionChief sets include classic Polar Express, Polar Express Freight Train, and Polar Express Elf Work Train
Thanks for watching. Several things are elevating it. Lionel O-gauge trestles, Rail King trestles, and under the edges there are simple foam blocks with a sheet of fake snow draped over (see links below). Lots of micro adjustments with small pieces of foam and padding to get the angles and height just right so the train will make it up the incline and not fly off when coming down at full speed. www.amazon.com/Lionel-6-12038-FasTrack-Elevated-Trestle/dp/B000BVND6Q/ref=sr_1_33?keywords=lionel+train+truss&qid=1700044416&sr=8-33&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.17d9e15d-4e43-4581-b373-0e5c1a776d5d www.amazon.com/RAILKING-Elevated-Trestle-REALTRAX-40-1136/dp/B0C7Y43XTN/ref=sr_1_8?crid=YYH09B8LN25M&keywords=o+gauge+train+trestle&qid=1700044693&sprefix=o+gauge+train+trestle%2Caps%2C196&sr=8-8&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.17d9e15d-4e43-4581-b373-0e5c1a776d5d www.amazon.com/Square-Blocks-Flower-Arrangements-Decorations/dp/B07C96S7MH/ref=sr_1_5_pp?crid=1U2G9O7OUS74H&keywords=foam+blocks&qid=1700044817&sprefix=foam+block%2Caps%2C113&sr=8-5
Thanks for watching, the copyrighted music is easily uploaded onto the video, RU-vid just stipulates that any video that contains copyrighted music is not allowed to generate revenues. Not a big deal for us as we just wanted a video as a keepsake and to have for our kids to watch down the road. This is our first year/video posting so not a RU-vid expert by any means, but that is the process that was detailed after assembling the video. Thanks again
