Here's some shots of the permanent winter scene on my layout. Still a work in progress as I need to add customers to the tree lot, some skiers etc.etc.

Wow, this winter scene is stupendous! Out of curiosity, who makes those two trucks shown above? They would be a perfect addition to my winter layout, thanks in advance!

Thanks for the compliment! The Christmas tree truck on the right is a "Pine Peak Christmas Tree Farm" offering from Corgi. There are a few other Corgi trucks with Christmas trees. An "Ochs Tree Farm", as well as a" Starbucks" version.

The plow truck is a Matchbox collectibles "1954 Ford F100 Sinclair snowplow".

All are readily available on ebay. Its just a matter of waiting for your price.  In fact there is one of each of the trucks in my photo at a low bid of $9.99 at the moment.

Good evening, I attached a couple pictures of my home layout which is a winter scene all year round.

The railroad in the town is the Pennsy.

Here is my last year's layout. I wasn't  able to put it up this year but I have items in a glass display.

I changed up the one end of the layout for this Christmas.  In previous years, it looked like this:

This year, I replaced the snow and generic greenery with structures and accessories from the Dept 56 O Little Town of Bethlehem and the related Holy Land series:

I left the base for the farm that sits there the other 10 months of the year.  I intend to add a few more accessories and to light the third building, but there's not much room for growth.  I continue to use the Nativity that my grandparents bought before I was born.

The scales are different, but how does that matter?

All is calm--how still we see thee lie!--all is bright, for this is a Holy Night.

Got my Charlie Brown tree up and a loop of O27 under it. Lionel 4050 Trainmaster transformer on extra low. Was going to put some PW on it but I can fit more Marx tin on that loop. Blasphemous, I know 😁

Christmas for me is really just another day. This will be the first one in almost 20 years that I haven't worked.

Uh-Oh It’s the BUMBLE!

Love this scene! Very creative!

No room for a Christmas layout this year, or room for my large tree for that matter, but I did create a small Main Street, featuring the obligatory Lionel Train store!

Finally changed over my Prewar layout over to this years Christmas layout…hope you enjoy it….I know I do!

Christmas get together at Z house tonight.  In case any one was wondering about the magic connection between kids and trains, check this out!!

The kids took turns with the lionchief remote.  The train got knocked off the track more times than I could count, didn't bother me at all.  Kids and trains are still magic!!

The older brother showed up on Christmas Eve! I think he was using Chesterfields!

Merry Christmas again!

Rich,

How big is your layout table?

Thanks

Charlie

No kids.  We just put up a small under tree loop of track to remember past family Christmas gatherings.
