I just want to gradually build up a Christmas scene around the holiday train. I can have the workshop at one end of the tracks, and the toyshop at the other end. This year I'm sticking with just the train, though.
I like this idea and I'm thinking of copying you. I may only get the train and one of the winter toy shop or santas workshop this year though.
The two Christmas sets arrived on Saturday - toy shop and Santa's workshop - and they are both lovely sets, full of neat little touches. As much as it pains me, I've put them both in the loft for this year; I'm only going to do the train set.
We have an alcove by the window at the front of the living room and, while I'm not really a very creative person, I'm now constantly thinking of ways I can turn the whole thing into a diorama that grows each year. Tempted to get some fake snow to put down
The wife is on board with the idea, though I'm not sure if she realises yet how far my plans are reaching
