I have the same connection to the village! My grandparents had a tiny little village too and I loved to just stare at it!

Спасибо! Счастливого Рождества!

Well, there's a time lapse of the whole thing in the corner. I always found the details to be much more interesting. To each his own.

You know I realized that I commented on the wrong video, because you are correct, this one DOES not have an overall how it was set up situation. The one I released most recently this past year DOES have a time lapse on how it was set up. Sorry about that. I got mixed up on which village video this was.

We used to keep them in their boxes, but it was just too much trouble every year. Now they get stored in the closet for easy access and the boxes are all in the attic.

@@TheChristmasCouple oooh I feel so much better knowing you had the boxes. Lol like that will make or break your day. But your video was enjoyable. My husband and I started collecting New England when we got engaged now 26 years later my daughter is helping to set the village up. Will post pics later.

@@carolwarren-avonind.repsal754 would love to see them! Yeah for sure still have the boxes, definitely wouldnt get rid of them. But it shaves about an hour off the set up and take down to have them out already

This one is years old, check out my newer ones to see the whole village. Learning from my mistakes.

Yeah I quickly found my village outgrowing the folding table, but the 4x8 plywood on top is incredibly stable. FYI, I definitely did not make the fence, I bought it and superglued it on. It was super cheap on amazon.

I’m going to try and make mine. Just to have some fun.

that's awesome. I salute you.@@johnunderwood3132

Bonsoir hello😅 Ta table mesure 4metres par 8 metres??? Merciiii

I wear it every year. Its my favorite holiday shirt!

Well Deserved.

We are absolutely honored! Thank you so much! Can't wait to see it on your website!

So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting!

and to you!

They're definitely super expensive! I always buy mine off in eBay in the offseason and usually get a better deal. It is hard to match the quality of department 56.

It does start to add up...but its collected over years, so its spread out

This one happens to be Lionel O. It was my Grandfather's and he had his own little table top setup and when he passed away I incorporated his train into my set as an homage to him. It just happens to match the theming pretty close to Dickens Village. When contemplating what train to use, though, before I got his, I found this article to be very helpful. Essentially it says eff the gauge, use the train that fits your theme the best within reason. Can't go wrong with 0 though. dfarq.homeip.net/department-56-scale-the-definitive-guide/

وسنة جديدة سعيدة وعيد ميلاد سعيد لك! شكرا للمشاهدة!

It's a Lionel train. It's actually a hand me down from my grandfather, who always had it displayed and running. When he passed away it was given to me and I incorporated it into the village.

That would be fake snow that you can get at any hobby store

Thanks for watching! Yeah its fake snow. I use Santa Snow Spray you can grab it in amazon. Super easy cleanup doesnt damage the houses.

I have a really long string that has like 20 or 25 sockets in it, I just run it along and then when the houses are too far apart I just skip a bulb and then do the next one

It's an 8 ft x 4 ft piece of plywood. And since it's so heavy it just sits on it and it doesn't budge.

Thankyou!
