Just getting started on our Christmas layout and hope to finish up this weekend.  It's a modest oval that we insert into a bay window looking out toward the backyard. The family visitors have come to expect trains at Christmas time, so this checks the box.

Last year when we took it down, my wife suggested outlining where the Dept 56 river pieces go that run through the layout. To keep the noise down and without building a fancy table, we use puzzle piece rubber floor mats on top of a particle board screwed to an old coffee table. Added  2"x4" legs to the overhanging ends to eliminate any droop.

I got a kick out of putting the rubber mat puzzle back together last night. 8 year old granddaughter could have done it! Wife sure is the smart one. Now I just need to do the work to get it all set up. Photo of completed layout is from last year. Short video can be seen here -  Christmas 2021.
