Bryce! Nice topic and super layout! buildings are Nicholas square? Wow, and you planted a good number of trees!
awesome.
Great photos everyone! We put our tree and decorations up on the Friday after Thanksgiving. I’ll be back with some photos of my Christmas tinplate running under the tree shortly thereafter.
Already? I'm still eating Halloween candy 
Great stuff guys, jealous that I don't have head start.

You are too kind sir! Buildings are a mix of MTH, Lionel, Ameri-towne, Dept 56, lemax, St Nicholas Square, and a few others. I stopped counting after I hit 600 trees haha!

I love it! Tinplate trains and Christmas go together very well

MTH 260e set with some add-ons (coal, cattle and gondola cars) on the outer loop and an MTH 256 with the matching red passenger set on the inner loop.

Memories of last years set up, none this year as we only put that little tree in the bay window, no room for a train there. Was on top of the dog crate last year, which we weened the dog from over the summer months. so its put away now. AD

Mine and my wife’s first tree. The train set up was kind of thrown together this year. I told her next year it’ll be more elaborate 😬

Max, looks great! I will need to get my tree up soon....
@Oscale_Trains_Lover_ posted:Well folks, its that time of year again! Many people are unpacking the trains for this holiday season, some are winterizing their existing layouts, while others are putting up displays for the public.
I thought it would be a great idea to create a thread to share our Christmas/winter/holiday trains and layouts. Your pictures can be as simple as a single Christmas tree on a summer layout, a single piece of rolling stock, or an entire winter themed layout. All scales and gauges are welcome to post!
Luckily, my layout is winter themed so I have a valid excuse to listen to Christmas music year-round.
I look forward to seeing all of your layouts!
Bryce
Gorgeous winter scenes, structures and scenery, Bryce!

I agree and believe you can never have too many trees on a layout.
@Doug W. posted:Post-op restrictions flushed Halloween down the toilet so now I am HOPING they will be dropped early enuff that I can reprise the Christmas layout.
So much for wishful thinking, restrictions remain until the first week of Jan. 
May try to find some work arounds to get something together.

Here's another Christmas train set around the tree from two years ago. Most of the stuff was taken out of the box from 44 years ago when I lived in NJ. Some AF accessories and a lot of Plasticville buildings from back in the day. I liked to paint things back then. I set this up so my 91 year old father could see all the stuff he bought us back in NJ. The AF trains I have from 1958 will remain in their boxes. That was his last Christmas and I'll probably never use this stuff again. I have all new MTH and Lionel equipment now.
Here's my just-finished layout!
