Lionel Christmas Village Layout 2023

Merry Christmas! Here’s our 2023 Christmas Village Layout, featuring Lionel Trains, Lemax Carousel and the Lemax Classic Car set. The buildings are mostly from the Mervyn’s Village Square Collection as well as the animated ice skating rink.
The Christmas Village layout is 16 feet long, 4 feet wide on the skinny end and around 10 feet on the wide end. The track is all old school Lionel 027 or O27. We have both 27” and 42” radius curves in the layout.
The locomotive on the outside track is a 1947 Lionel 2025 still running strong and the locomotive on the inside track is a MPC era Lionel 8703 with the Mighty Sound of Steam from the late 70’s I think. I have the sound of steam unplugged in the video because it is annoying, lol. Oh, and the trolley is also from Lionel.
There is also a Lionel operating milk car and operating cattle car that I will be trying to get working at some point in the future, they are just for looks currently.
Thanks for watching and have a Merry Christmas!

Very nice. I can tell that a lot of work went into this set-up. I have the 2004 Lionel Christmas boxcar, and it is my favorite.

[@lorenlopes1048]

Thank you, I just got that car this year, I really like it too. Happy New Year!

[@kevinbowman1516]

Amazing. This looks like something that should be in a department store window. Great job.

[@lorenlopes1048]

Thank you very much!

[@geordieceltic2]

Congratulations on creating such a beautiful piece of work. I am so envious that we can not get Lionel stock in the UK as their products are realistic and their introduction of novelty items adds to the enjoyment. Merry Christmas to you and thanks for sharing

[@lorenlopes1048]

Thank you very much!

[@FrankRazz]

Really nice Christmas layout. Love the cars going around the tree, is that a K Line super streets??

[@lorenlopes1048]

Thanks! The cars are from Lemax, they are battery operated. Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@andymaxie8211]

Very well done, it gives me lots of ideas. What brand are the moving cars? And the track system for the cars with the turn arounds? I’ve never seen the turn arounds before.

[@lorenlopes1048]

Thanks! The moving cars are made by Lemax. The Lemax Classic Car Set.

[@1940limited]

Very nice indeed!

[@lorenlopes1048]

Thanks!

[@ericcasagrande]

Very nice. How long did it take you to put the layout together?

[@lorenlopes1048]

Thanks! It took a couple of months working on it on the weekends.

[@TheBobcat26]

Amazing!!! Where did you find the slot cars (police chasing the car)?

[@lorenlopes1048]

Thanks!! The slot cars are from Lemax, the Lemax Classic Car set. It’s discontinued, but sometimes you can find them on EBay. That’s where I bought mine.

[@GenZod80]

The moving cars, is that EZ streets?

[@lorenlopes1048]

Those are from Lemax, they are battery operated. The Lemax Classic Set.
