I've fallen behind on my layout progress this season, mainly because I haven't had or made the time to go down the basement to run trains let alone work on the layout, and am looking for inspiration on what others have done to maintain the Yuletide feel on their layouts. My current layout features a city with O-scale structures and a residential scene that is partly based on the Polar Express. If I can get my mojo back I would like to start building my rendition of the North Pole using Dept. 56 City and Dickens village houses, but first I should complete the mountain that I started last year. Here's my residential scene with industrial area in background--train tracks run in front and back of residences. Large city is in foreground, not shown. I've only added simulated snow to the residential scene, which may look funny to some but I don't mind having whimsy and realism on the same layout.
Anybody else care to share their work?
