I don't believe him either. Most kids would be happy with an old toilet roll tube and some shiny paper, or an Ecks-Bocks.

Bloody good effort that. More pics please. 🙂

Takes him 3 weeks to build and wire up. 50 odd trips to the loft!

Yup, more pics!
All I have on the floor in my front room is some unwashed pants, a pair of socks and a half drunk mug of tea.
Though admittedly I'm not claiming they there to entertain kids 🙂

THREE WEEEEEEEKKKS??????/

If you said 3 months I'd say you were lying!!!!!!

Bloody hell. 😯

Tell him for next year, I'd like to see a scene based on a deprived inner city area, complete with squalid council estate, hoodie youths and the obligatory burnt out car/Hackney BBQ.

Seriously, that's fantastic.

There is only enough room to put half of it up. There is a working 1/25th (approx) train set that can be added!

No more pictures as I'm at my usage limit and I don't want to give BT another fiver.

Top marks to Uncle Bill. How big is the front room?

I'd estimate that the layout is 12' x 4'.

I do love the twee Victorian Christmassy scene, but check out this representation of some of the less desirable bits of NY:
