It...Dixie, I have the Dept. 56 New England village. It's not very large, but it's plenty for our tight quarters. This is the first Christmas I did not set it out; I just didn't want to deal with it. I know I"m going to regret it, but it's a little to late to worry about that now. lol I love how the train is on a track in the video! Years ago, we had a Swenson's Ice Cream parlor and they had a train that went along the perimeter of their shop like this and it was hugely popular with all the patrons. I'm glad you were able to add to and set your village out. I know how much fun that sort of thing is AND next year I will be sure to put mine out. :D Merry Christmas, my dear!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169296047258820802.post-79386899819923778192015-12-18T01:32:40.785-05:002015-12-18T01:32:40.785-05:00Now that I own my home, and have filed bankruptcy ...Now that I own my home, and have filed bankruptcy and gotten rid of all the stressful debt, I'm hoping to come up with a holiday hobby that grows over the years. And entertains the grandchildren no matter how old they get. My dad had his special Christmas setting, but since he passed away it isn't the same just to set it up and look at it. Its cool that you have so much creativity to put into the season.<br /><br />I did like the video. Way cool. I watched the ad too; a wells fargo thing (I think) with the snowmen giving the horses carrots to get them through the snowy lane. Made my heart smile.dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169296047258820802.post-3316924084249437452015-12-16T14:15:46.718-05:002015-12-16T14:15:46.718-05:00such fun, such fun!

I had such village in LET IS SNOW book that I translated earlier this year :) They even ended up in prison wanting to buy new pieces for it. <br />I don't decorate my residence since I don't have a family, but I'd sure would enjoy it.

First I need a bigger house to put it in. I suppose I could go for an elevated track layout, but I'd either have to figure out how to be that handy or hire a handy person to set it all up.<br /><br />Okay, never mind.

I checked out a library book by a couple who had built high cat walkways, cat tunnels from room to room, and many other fun cat things for their numerous cats. It looked like cat heaven, and I just had the thought that you could have your railroad run through cat tunnels and over cat bridges, etc., but you might need to “Look out below!”Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169296047258820802.post-12885775728218812015-12-08T12:08:44.969-05:002015-12-08T12:08:44.969-05:00Yes, but pessimist that I am, I also imagine that ...Yes, but pessimist that I am, I also imagine that it could lead to a derailment and the death of many innocent passengers.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169296047258820802.post-13436346914891367102015-12-08T12:07:29.915-05:002015-12-08T12:07:29.915-05:00Who cannot love a train!Who cannot love a train!Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169296047258820802.post-21004555643735740812015-12-06T15:35:54.455-05:002015-12-06T15:35:54.455-05:00I have three trains of different sizes.
