I used to run the trains on the floor around the Christmas tree, through the village, and under the piano. This year we placed the tree in a different location with no room for trains so I got the village up off the floor which made it easier to work on. It's on a 4x8 sheet of plywood supported by cheap storage bins from the orange box store - simple and strong, and no need for fancy legs or framing. Hopefully next year I can add a backdrop.
Merry Christmas to all.
