A fellow HO scale German model railroad fan, I see.

Absolutely.
You have a good eye for details !
I got the set you see a 100 years ago on my first trip to Germany =^.^=

What brand it is?

As I recall it is a Marklin

Ah, I am a Marklin enthusiast. What you have there are older Marklin items.

With a festive town and train beneath. Very nice.

Thanks for the kind words. The buildings you see are actually archatectural models of real buildings in the town of Rothenburg. We have actually been inside of each building represented. I keep telling Bill we need to go back so we can go into more buildings,....thus allowing us to get some more buildings to put under the tree.

Sound like a good excuse for a trip.....right...?

Well, certainly. If you need an excuse, that is…

Sounds like a perfect excuse! XD

Rothenburg in Bavaria? That would be both an excuse for you to go on a trip and for me to drop by and say hello. Plus, I could then experience the architecture myself :)

That sounds like an excellent plan !

Yes, Rothenburg ob der Tauber,. Its my favorite town in Bavaria. especially in the off season. =^.^=

What a lovely tree!

Thank you SO much.
Wishing you all the best for 2024. =^.^=

Merry Christmas! ^v^

OwO big house i love the wood

Me too Dosen. Have a merry Christmas !

Huggies youuuuuuuu you too fopsie

the big red flyer cart has more decorations than my entire house...
I guess some people actually LIKE holidays for some reason. I guess I'm a lot further away from normal than I thought, because holidays depress me even more than usual

Oddly, I am not a "holiday-ey" person either. I can take or leave them.

That living room looks 1970s.

Not far off. The house was built in the early 80's

Have a very merry Christmas, Ray!

And all the best for 2024 to you. =^.^=

My goodness, that's a big one! ;) Looks like you're well set up for Christmas!
Warmest greetings from Scotland, hope you and Bill have a wonderful day ^^

Thank you for the kind words Gordon. Have an awesome Christmas, and we want to wish you all the best for 2024. =^.^=

Wow... I like the Pigeon. And the train.

Hello Feldhase *waves*. Thank you very much. The train I bought in Nuremburg on my first trip to Germany MANY years ago. If you look closely, there are several birds in the tree, I like them because trees should have birds.

A very merry holiday season to you. =^.^=

Nadolig Llawen! I hope yours was a lovely, relaxed occasion. ^__^

Thank you Dai: Once we finished our annual neighborhood open house, It was nice and relaxed.

Want to wish you all the best for 2024. =^.^=
