I have such wonderful memories of setting up the Christmas village at my Grandma's home. It was not a fancy set-up and the houses were of various sizes but it was so magical!

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

Would have been more interesting if the whole process was filmed with more perspective. So much close up doesn’t let you see how the display was actually conceived and laid out
@TheChristmasCouple Жыл бұрын
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.

My Heart sank a bit when you didn’t have your houses in their boxes! So brave. We are setting up our New England d56 village today
@TheChristmasCouple Жыл бұрын
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

My mother gave me her Dickens village. It’s about 12 stores/ homes and the trees etc. I just got a table like you have. I didn’t even realize to put a price of plywood to make it bigger. I think I’m going to cut mine to a shape to fit corner of living room. Thanks for the ideas buddy. I’m going to start making the little white fence!
@TheChristmasCouple10 ай бұрын
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.

Very cool Christmas village. I’ve been thinking about buying some Department 56 village houses, but I haven’t make that decision yet. They are pricey and I already collect Lemax Carole towne and St Nicholas.
@TheChristmasCouple2 жыл бұрын
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.

Great setup! What gauge train are you using? I hear most say that O is the best for Dept 56 but let me know your thoughts.
@TheChristmasCouple8 ай бұрын
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/

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.

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

Nice..What size is the table on top of the fold out table? How is it attached since it's larger?
@TheChristmasCouple2 жыл бұрын
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.
