Ok, I am sorry to have to ask this, but I once saw a village I really want to buy. I think it was from Department 56, but I am unsure. It was online, and was a subscription, where you buy it and over the next year you recieve more and more buildings. It only showed the first one you recieve though. The first one is a florist, it has green grass, and a purple roof. I think it said the next thing was a bridge, but again, I don't know. Could someone please tell me it's name?
love it..one of the best ones I've seen. Love the carnival rides and booths...I have what I've imagined out in making mind and expanding over the years is an old part of town..(1880's)......a seaside with dock and maritime scenes...and a newer part of town with train and station and newer looking homes and businesses...(turn of the century).. plus a farm...My last dream of adding will be the carnival rides....LeMax has some great rides with ticket and food booths...and side show scenes...
Great village - very nicely put together. We have a lot of the same pieces on our layout (Livingston Christmas Train Village). I'd love to know where you got the monorail system - I think I would be a great additin to our setup. Thanks.
@Aguila43 Hi sorry for the delayed answer, I had thought I answered your Monorail question earlier. You can find it on ebay it is called "Von Roll Mark III Monorail" if you run that on the search a few should come up. it is made by a company called E-R.
What a great village! Very inspiring! I have a quick question about the train; is that the Department 56 Village Express? I'm bidding on it right now but wanted to see if that was it and if it is, what you thought of it?
We bought the lemax train and added some track but found that it didn't last long at all and other people felt the same so I'm apprehensive about buying one from a "village model" maker.
@lpurpura thanks again for the information.... I have one more question (sorry). The elves on the pump train that go back and forth; who makes them? I've been googling them but I seem to only find a small version that has mini elves and doesn't go back and forth. Any info would be apppreciated it!
@yannfleury Just go with the pieces you like, I have everything in mine, if it's cool and I like it, I buy it! I am partial to Dept 56, but have a lot of lemax pieces if they are nice.
love it. i just finished putting mine up. but we dont have nearly as many cool things as you. we just have a kinda small one. but i gotta say that looks sweet. nice job.
@TheGemmyguy2007 Thanks, that was the first year I did a video, please check out my more current villages "2007 extreme christmas village" is a good one to watch.
i have a question for all of the simpson fanatics:
what was the episode when the simpson family had to pick up their tree from the really dumpy side of town because homer spent all of the christmas money? please answer!
Yes, if you click on the link to the left of the video "more from: lpurpura" you will see closeup videos, along with last years village (this is from 2006). I should be posting this years village next week

@TO220740 Yes it is, that was a few years ago, I have since switched to the Bradford exchange trains.
They run on the same track, but are a little larger and run better. They have many different holiday trains to choose from.

@yannfleury Michaels used to sell it during the holidays, I haven't seen it in a few years. Check EBay for it, I think it is made by Lemax.
