Never too early to start planning.

Great to see pics of what others have done or are planning.

 

Might just go with a bigger layout in the basement and keep it up year round.

Between the Carnival, Spooky town, and Christmas village buildings and accessories, it might make more sense.

 

 

Michael's already has their Spooky Town displays set up in their stores.

 

Been thinking about Christmas for a while now, buying a lot of Plasticville and Colber items (will be a heavily postwar setup with a big dose of nostalgia).

 

It's going to be with a tree that uses Shiny Brite decorations and C7 bulbs, I'm not sure where it'll go, though, that's the main issue. We have a spare sitting room in the front of the house, but it's small.

i'm in the "Christmas Planning and Building Mode" all year long...

You'll also see a few "Halloween" projects in the mix as well...

For those who snowbird to warmer parts of the US, the San Diego 3-Railers have a Halloween display going in the middle of September, the room will also be decorated for Halloween. Halloween Display will be there till the middle of November towards the end of November, when the Christmas and Winter Holiday decorations go up. Most of the members have a train for the season or holiday. I only have one train seasonal train, and my Thomas, Percy and James pull that train.

I am considering doing a small Halloween layout this year after picking up that Lionel Peanuts Halloween set last year for cheap.  But just very simple and easy and I want my main efforts going into the Christmas one and do not want to get burned out on it.

 

As much as I like Christmas, I try to hold off on thinking about it until at least October.  I don't want to ruin it by thinking about my Christmas layout already.
