Hi, thanks for your comments. Most of the figures are from a company called Arttista. Almost all of the figures on the station platform and a few around it, are from Great Britain but I can not remember name of the company. If you search O scale figures you can find many more. O scale is the scale of the trains. If you search 3d scale figures you can find very nicely scaled figures. I believe this will become the norm. They make figures by scanning real people. again you would choose the o sale ones. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN

1/48th scale is o scale

Yes, you are correct in thinking that Starbucks was not around during that time period. We hesitated to use it because we wanted to represent the 1950's. But we liked the way it looked and caved in. Starbucks started on March 30, 1971 at the Pike Place Market in Seattle Washington. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. We appreciate your kind remarks. Take care.

Grazie, Gli edifici sono tutti: Dept 56 collezione villaggio di neve. Le auto sono in scala 1/43 di molti produttori.

Hi, except for the buildings just about everything in the scene was purchased over many years at different train shows in New Jersey. A small amount at some antique stores. Thanks for the kind reply.

Hi, Thank you very much. Hoping the same for you and your family. I hope you had many visitors to enjoy that wonderful display.

Hi,Merry Christmas. It is a es44ac built by General Electric. The model was made by MTH trains.

It’s not as hard as it looks. Collecting for many years helps. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Great, can’t wait to see it

Sadly no, we are getting ready to move so we are not putting a village up this year.

I believe that anyone who truly loves Christmas holds Jesus Christ in their hearts. In the scene, there are two church's . Both have a manger by them. While building the scene, I purchased three flat cars. One held the shepherd's and one held a manger and the other the three wise men All the figures light up and some people might thin them tacky. But I wanted to make them the center of the train because they represented the Christ. Unfortunately, when I tried to run the train they would not fit through the tunnel portal. I also purchased through Knights of Columbus, a keep Christ in Christmas boxcar that did not arrive till after Christmas. So maybe next time.

@@robertdiller5447 Christ is the centre and Jesus is the reason of the season. The crib is his birthplace. If you put the people who were the main characters as props, you're not representing him. The Christmas village is a cheap substitute for the crib.

Thank you very much. We also wish you the same.

Thank you for your very kind comments. I am thinking that you are in possession of a very beautiful soul. A very Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Yes it is. How did you know? Do you know her? This her father responding but I will make sure she sees this in case she knows you.

@@robertdiller5447 Every single year since December 2005, I read the article in my magazine! I absolutely love the layout that’s why I keep rereading it every year! Thank you so much for responding to me! 👏👏👏

Hello again. If you look at the description there is a link that will show you a story about the village shown in the magazine. It is a digital story Teresa did for a college assignment about a childhood memory. The display is very similar to this one but you may enjoy the story. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.@@georgecastro181

@@robertdiller5447 WOW Mr. Dillard, You’re not going to believe this… It’s a long story but here’s a short version of it… After reading your article and looking at the photographs in the 2005 O gauge magazine, I started the same tradition with my daughter! I live in San Francisco, California and the day after Thanksgiving, I start setting up my trains in my living room as well! it takes me three days to do the temporary layout! I know in my heart you and your family are some of the most wonderful people on the planet! Merry Christmas to you as well my friend!🎄 I also enjoyed watching Teresa‘s video!👏

Wow what a nice story. The thought that we inspired you in any way that would produce an action that could provide pleasure and happiness fills my heart with pleasure. May you have many years of happy village building. A very Merry Christmas to you and your family. I have no doubt that you are a wonderful person pure at heart. Thanks for making my day.@@georgecastro181

No, My daughter and I made them from twisting old telephone wire into the shapes of trees. I think you can find instructions on how to do this on you tube.
