They are called gooseneck lamps by Lionel trains

Thank you for your kind remarks Very glad you enjoyed our scene.

The snow we used comes in a bag that was bought at Michaels. I think. Dept 56 sells the same kind of snow. Anyway the snow is is ground up to be fine. Glad you enjoyed our scene.

Hello, thank you for your kind remarks and taking the effort to write them. So glad you found enjoyment from seeing our display. you are correct in that when we have a large collection, it is so tempting to try and include them all. But with limited space, I believe if we can reject that thought it makes for a more interesting scene. My mother told me many times less is more. I can also say that I have never seen a Christmas display that has not inspired good feelings. All of them are beautiful in their own way. Thanks again and may all your Christmases be bright.

The cars are diecast 1/48 scale. I have purchased the cars through many years of searching. mostly at train shows. some from toy stores but not many,. of course the internet is a good way to start. Search for 1/48th scale cars for the best scale.

Hi, We began by extending the fireplace hearth by building boxes and placing them along the walls in a L shape They are the same height as the hearth and one foot and a half wide.. Then we stacked one inch insulating foam on top of each other and glued them together. we then carved them as best we could to make it look like a stone wall. This takes patience and if you look at the wall you might be able to tell where i became frustrated and slashed the wall in straight lines. after that we placed the carved wall against the boxes to create a tunnel for the train. The hearth is brick and slate so we covered the brick with 1/4 in plywood to look like a wall and crumbled brown paper to cover the slate. the paper was then painted grey and dry brushed with a lighter grey to look like rock. If it helps you would be able to move the entire rock section away and be left with an l shaped box one and a half feet wide. we then placed one inch thick foam on top to create the residential section. we the placed one inch insulating foam on the floor. (this foam can be found at your favorite big box store). Before that I took a hot foam cutter and cut lines in it to run extension cords underneath. The yellow church is place on top of a cut out section to cover all the power cords. The right downtown area has a bunch of trees to do the same. The best I can remember the lower section is eight feet by 6 feet. then from the tunnel we carved another section to make the ski area. I know you did not ask for all this info but just in case it might help in some way. Of course it would be easier to not build it on the floor. I purchased the bulk of the people at different train shows. this was done over many years. finding winter or Christmas related people at this scale is not easy. the scale would be 1/48th scale or O scale figures. the train is also O scale. Feel free to ask any questions you might have. Happy hunting.

Hi, thanks for your comments. Most of the figures are from a company called Arttista. Almost all of the figures on the station platform and a few around it, are from Great Britain but I can not remember name of the company. If you search O scale figures you can find many more. O scale is the scale of the trains. If you search 3d scale figures you can find very nicely scaled figures. I believe this will become the norm. They make figures by scanning real people. again you would choose the o sale ones. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN

1/48th scale is o scale

Yes, you are correct in thinking that Starbucks was not around during that time period. We hesitated to use it because we wanted to represent the 1950's. But we liked the way it looked and caved in. Starbucks started on March 30, 1971 at the Pike Place Market in Seattle Washington. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. We appreciate your kind remarks. Take care.

Grazie, Gli edifici sono tutti: Dept 56 collezione villaggio di neve. Le auto sono in scala 1/43 di molti produttori.

Hi, except for the buildings just about everything in the scene was purchased over many years at different train shows in New Jersey. A small amount at some antique stores. Thanks for the kind reply.

Hi, Thank you very much. Hoping the same for you and your family. I hope you had many visitors to enjoy that wonderful display.

Hi,Merry Christmas. It is a es44ac built by General Electric. The model was made by MTH trains.

It’s not as hard as it looks. Collecting for many years helps. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Great, can’t wait to see it

Sadly no, we are getting ready to move so we are not putting a village up this year.
