Inquisitive dog
No doubt! Subway loves Department 56.
The next building you should get is The Astor Hotel
I haven't seen that one, but I would definitely add one in a second. The Hotel Astor was a classic. The Department 56 Paramount Hotel is also nice and relatively tall.
I love all of your videos. Can you tell me the scale (size) of the traditional Chinese figures in the Chinatown section of your display? What online company could I go to in order to purchase that size figurines? Brilliant beautiful display!!!
The scale is somewhere between 1:30 and 1:32. These figures are part of the "STREETS OF OLD HONG KONG" collection produced by KING AND COUNTRY.
Macks is the best but try joes for 2nd best
Been a Mack's guy my entire life, never tried Sam's. I think I'll try next summer but even if I like it, I'll probably be a Mack's guy for life!
Macks is the Best Pizza ever
Just because you guys are obese doesnt make you foodies or food experts
TCA membership is Money well spent. You get the quarterly and the bullentins plus free admission at the National Musuem, so yea its must for anyone interested in trains.
Absolutely worth the small price tag.
Seen one at the lionel store in concord. I have the FT lion chief locomotives santa fe and texas special,very smooth locomotives.
After seeing this run I wish now I would have got it.
@@gusshadleythelunaticfromar7125 Lionel did a nice job with these FTs. Nice running engines with decent features. Great for beginners but also experienced hobbyists.
I have seen these but never in operation.
Me too! It’s hard to imagine this was once just a fun toy. It has such an iconic look and feel and is a really cool looking addition to an office, kids bedroom or hobby room decor. Definitely not just a Shelf Queen.
Been looking for a set for myself for a long time, kicking myself I never got one when they came out. Dumb question but before you switch the remote on, does the engine make a “beep, beep, beep” sound or does it make that colourful whistling noise like in Clint Eastwood’s ‘Fistful of Dollars’ as most modern lionchief engines make these days? Hope that makes sense! Looking forward to more of your magical videos!
@@alexanderpoirier3350 These were tough to find. Primary because they were sold out of Hallmark Greeting Card stores. I think each store only had 1 or 2 to sell.
I’m just imagining Molly following this boat around when it’s going in the water 😂😂 I can’t wait to see it in person !
What a cool boat!! 🚤
@@Lexi-Torres it’s a Classic.
What that's crazy !!
Thanks Ray. I love your channel.
Fun video! I was waiting for the dog to swim by too! The tinplate stuff always is interesting to me. I have a few pieces of the MTH Lionel Corporation tinplate.
Little Buddy was on vacation. She'll be making a return appearance soon.
Love it!
Man Emile watching this video was awesome. I had the opportunity to buy one of these recently and I didn’t. Now I regret it. Very cool piece. You’re the KING of cool stuff. Seeing run in the water was the best.
Thanks! You’re the best!
Wow
I enjoy running mybtrains dont matter who makes them my trains are menards only i have a marx clock work locomotive I nputbon display in my train room
@@richardnelson-ux1zz I have a Marx airplane that I’ll be reviewing soon. Great company.
Hello
@@Vietnam35162 Greetings!
I personally love this train wish they make this in HO scale I have my own HO scale PE and would love to see this train run with the original train in a North Pole layout that would be awesome
@@carsonrichards9902 I agree! This is a fantastic train that should be produced in other scales. HO would be great.
Looks so good
Thank you. It’s a tasty recipe.
Please upload “The Polar Express - Tom Hanks with Lyrics features scenes from the Epic Christmas Village IV display, including The Scale Lionel Polar Express train and classic Department 56 Original Snow Village, Dickens Village and North Pole Village buildings and animated accessories.”
I’m vacationing in Wildwood as I watch this. We’re going to Mack’s. Does it matter which of the two locations?
Both locations are excellent and serve the same great recipe. I'm jealous.
Beautiful video! Love it ❤
@@karenkirkpatrick7337 Thank you Karen. You’re awesome!
Thank You!!
You're welcome!
Beautiful village ❤, may I know what model and maker is the Red Train please and thank you 😊
MTH 30-68266 Christmas 4 car Passenger Set is the basic set. There are also add-on passenger cars to make an 8 car set. There are different locomotives available. I chose the MTH 30-20757-1 O Gauge Christmas ES44AC Diesel & Caboose and then didn't use the caboose.
@@TheBigCrabCake thanks so much for the info , will look to see who has it available 😊
@@diamiradevries5999 They are producing these sets now and they are expected in stores this October. Star Hobby in Annapolis is my local hobby shop and they have been very good at getting MTH products when I ask for them. I believe Star Hobby is the closest store to the MTH warehouse in Columbia Maryland. I usually order from "Don" at Star Hobby. Mr. Muffin (on line) is another option and they are taking pre-orders.
@@TheBigCrabCakeI used to live in Va , just about 20 min from Maryland and move to GA about 2 years ago . but I pre-order online, with the model number you provided me , I was able to find it so easy . Thanks so much I really appreciated , I’m a happy villager ❤😅
What brand and name are the trees at 3:20? They look really nice!
Those are snow-covered pines by JTT. I bought mine at Star Hobby in Annapolis, Maryland.
@@TheBigCrabCake thank you so much! :) I found them also on Amazon
I think little Buddy is a little jealous of Scooby.
@@playingwithmytrains5440 Could be. Maybe it’s time for a Little Buddy train.
Wow. Nice Snag. Nice to see you posting again. Missing your post on OGF. Oh by the way nice job on the OGF Pup Trailer cars I love my two sets. Love the video KEEP POSTING!
@@curtishoman7867 Thank you so much! You’re the best!
What shop did you get it and did they get more then one in stock
I got the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine train at Star Hobby in Annapolis, Maryland. I don’t know if they have additional sets but if you call them and ask for Don, he may be able to find one for you.
Thank you !
I’m on the next flight then I’m gonna have a helicopter land on the boardwalk
This village is gorgeous! The detail and work is amazing! Can you tell me who made the barge boat? Thank you
The Maroon Tug Boat was produced by Lionel Trains. It has a smoking smoke stack feature and tug boat horn.
@@TheBigCrabCake Thank you!
Sam’s Pizza
What a beautiful display!!! Thanks for sharing.
Mack's is Whack!
@@Mooooty I could eat two slices of Mack’s Pizza right now!
Very very cool.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you Amy! Paris is such a beautiful backdrop for just about anything. I think the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris will be the most picturesque of all times.
@@TheBigCrabCake I agree! Enjoy the games!
I always make it a point to visit Larry when in the Wildwoods! Great guy and great store!
Larry is the best!
Awe how cute! ❤
Thanks. It was so much fun dancing in Paris.
Lovely. Very elegantly done. You both are very graceful. Loved it.
Thank you. We just had fun.
Great video. I bet the trip was even better.
It was a wonderful adventure.
Wonderful! Such a romantic!
Something about Paris just gets you.
Ahhh you two are so cute…
Thank you Heidi. You're the best.
Such a charming video!
I had a great cameraman.
