Post your favorite pics of holiday villages here. Here's one I built for an OGR contest a couple of years ago:
Various manufacturer ceramic buildings, MTH Realtrax, and a prewar Lionel 259E with 600-series passenger cars.

Paul, I love the combination of the tinplate trains and the ceramic village pieces. Looks classic to me.

Here's another pic that someone had sent me:  It reminds me of the Christmas "Garden" my grandfather assembled under his tree every year. His never included an electric train, just lots of small houses, cast figures, miniature cars and trucks, all on dyed saw-dust for grass and roads. It's getting to be that time of year to start making plans... Paul II |

"Christmas garden" tends to be an east coast term, especially in Baltimore MD. Did you grow up in that area? |

Yup, born in Baltimore but lived out in the countryside. My parents were both from Arbutus, a town on the edge of the Baltimore city that sits astride the old Pennsylvania mainline (now the southern end of the Northeast Corridor). |

Good article on the Baltimore tradition: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-county/towson/ph-tt-train-gardens-1224-20141217-story.html My father would drive us all over the city at Christmas to see these... Paul II |

Here's a few pic's of the 2015 garden at Kenilworth Bazaar near Baltimore:    Taken at mid-day the crowds were thin...typically jammed in the evening and weekends. Paul II |
