year-round christmas layout?
Posted by PostwarMan07 on Friday, December 14, 2007 10:49 PM
Ive seen a lot of nice christmas layouts on here, but was wondering if anyone had a year round christmas layout (snow, northpole, dept 56, etc) or have a winter themed layout?

We leave it up year-round, with a few minor changes though.

It's up year round along with a 2 1/2 foot lit, green-painted, pinecone Christmas tree that use to sit in the window of my father's barber shop back in the 70s.

I'm working on a few modifications for this year.  I'll try and post some pix when I get it tweaked.

One thing about trains: It doesn't matter where they’re going. What matters is deciding to get on.

Well I just finished putting up our Christmas tree in the middle of the layout and not the other way around for the second year in a row.  Does that Count?
