In my opinion, the Dept. 56 "Snow Village" series buildings (Dept. 56 also offers a number of other series, which all have different sizes) look best with O gauge trains, as long as you stick with the buildings themselves and not the oversize (usually) figures and other accessories. However, some of the accessories offered do, indeed, look pretty darn good with O gauge, so it's very difficult to generalize. To the best of my knowledge, nothing Dept. 56 offers is made to a precise scale.<br> <br> I also know a number of Large Scale hobbyists who use "Snow Village" structures on their indoor pikes, even though the buildings are undersized for Large Scale. There's sure nothing wrong with that, especially if the buildings are kept toward the background where their smaller size helps to add the perspective of depth to the layout.<br> <br> I have a large collection of "Snow Village" acumulated over many years, and really like the overall look of those structures on an O gauge layout that has a Christmas theme.<br> <br>
