Hello everyone,
My name is Mike, and I'm English but living near Frankfurt, Germany ! To cut a long story short, my first son is now 33 years old, so we were heavily in Playmobil in the early 1980's. Since then he has grown up, and life moved on......until a couple of years ago when, to our surprise, my partner became pregnant. We now have a lively son who is 30 months.
For many years I had a simple LGB Xmas Train that just ran around the Xmas tree. It has the Playmobil Santa with the four reindeer, plus a few other Playmobil figues. Last year I added a little bit more so that my son, who was just two at the time, could control the train. I also added a stop/go red/green light.
However, for this coming Xmas I've decided to 'go big'. I'll still have the train, but I want to create a sort of, 'Alte Stadt' (Old City) Xmas Market, using half-timbered buildings in the shadow of an old castle. It is meant to be modern, but based in an old part of the city....and of course, based on Playmobil stuff.
This has led me to become pretty active on E-Bay :-)
So without further ado, I'll start to join-in on some of the threads if you don't mind :-)
