I have about 40 Dept. 56 Snow Village buildings, collected over a number of years. I haven;t really added to the collection in recent years because I'm running out of space for just about everything and anything. I do have a number of the buildings on display in various areas of my home--mantle, bookcases, etc., but really would like to incorporate them into a layout of some sort.
That last layout I had that featured those buildings was a trolley pike (with SuperStreets) I built last Christmas. It actually came out pretty well, but I dismantled it after the holidays because it took up a good bit of space in my dining room. I'm now trying to figure out a way (and location) for another trolley pike that I can keep up all year and make use of at least some of those neat Dept. 56 buildings.
