This is my earliest recollection of a Christmas layout. If you look close, It is a Marx windup. Till I was about 6 yeas old, my dad would set the entire Christmas display up with Mom's help on Christmas Day.
After that the tradition was to prepare it all and do it together during the week before.

Here is my 1956 layout, age 17. It took up my entire room.Good thing my older sister moved out of the apartment already so I could do this. This was the last big Christmas display as Cars and Girls were becoming much more importment.

I also had windup trains until I was 8 years old before getting a lionel diesel switcher from santa ahhh memories of a simpler time.
