First part of setting up the village it getting a general idea of its layout. As the village has grown the placement of the buildings has changed, and no two years have the same layout. The key part to this is having a very understanding wife that overlooks the expense entailed in creating a month long display.
Add the white batting and roads, and the town begins to take shape. The track is from Ideal and is from the Motorific line of toys. I spay-painted the track with textured paint (Krylon Make-it-Stone) and painted the curbs to try and make it look less toy-like. Building the two tables to hold it all and setting it all up and wiring it takes more time than you would think.
