Notes:
Larry's Christmas Layout is different each year, although some of the village people and accessories have been included in his Christmas display since he was a child, particularly the ice skating scene and the lead figures. This year's display is an homage to a vintage Christmas display from around 1950. The featured piece is a German Bing Metal Station that was made for OO-scale, but fits S-scale quite nicely. The country area includes two Schoenhut wooden houses along with a Marx Lithograph barn. The Church is a Japanese Putz style glitter house. The City area is squeezed under the Christmas tree and is comprised of two Department 56 buildings and a dozen or so Japanese Putz houses. Many of the ornaments on the tree are vintage glass ornaments with traditional tinsel icicles.
