The Little World

Not every Little World has fighter planes and tanks – some are dedicated to far more peaceful pursuits.

Take for instance the annual Christmas layout a friend and her daughter construct – I should have written daughters, as there are three, but two are now residing elsewhere and I think the constructors are down to two.

Nevertheless there is a massive effort to combine a number of small elements into a moving picture. The individual scenes have been made from kits and sets, but these can probably change year by year.

There are two dogs, and perhaps a cat in the house – the layout is sensibly kept on a table and presumably policed pretty closely. The train ran on time on the 27th, so the engineering was of a high standard. I suspect there will be more structures next year. It really can never get old.
