I didn't see the interiors nice work there like the Maid at work and the oven gloves look great, the servants quarters look really realistic as well basic but, suitable for the job. The orphanage looks good bustling and full of life and by the looks of it they get a good education as well, the las tphoot of everyone watching the puppet show is really sweet as well  :)

I was very much inspired by the Downton Abbey TV Series when I did the first two chapters of the Summer Garden Party on Regent St as I am a huge fan of the show  :love: :love:

I am utterly in love with your town, dear Birdie  :)

A real MASTERPIECE that you may present to the PCC community for all members to enjoy your fantastic collection and diorama !

Such a beauty surely deserves a musical video on Youtube too  ;)

You have brightened my Sunday morning with your enchanted Victorian world dear Birdie

Well, you certainly made my day with your very kind words.  :-[  :-[  Thank you, it means a lot to me!

I was thinking of maybe putting some pictures on my PCC page. I don't know how to do a YouTube video, but maybe if I make a story with the town, I'll look into it  :)

Thank you, DrDalek6. The gloves are from Sylvanian Families too.

Will you be able to leave it up for awhile to enjoy?

Thanks Kaethe! It's still up (it's not in the way) and right now they're all having dinner  ;D

I'd love to see maybe a short story told in this set up? it seems perfect for it.. seems you have an entire setup ready to make picture stories as if its a tv series.

Thanks a lot Rhalius, and *maybe* General Von Iserop will make an actual appearance, if Giorginetto finds the time to send him on his way  :) I promise to do an elaborate photo story if he turns up.

I should figure out how to light it properly for high quality photo's. That's a bit of a challenge.

Like Knight Train said, just 3 houses take up a huge amount of room so I can just imagine how massive this town is  8}.  It's so peaceful and orderly and clean but yet full of life.  Nice to see the same town from the Circus story on a regular workaday.

Lovely vignettes, especially the maid pouring milk on the bowl and kitty eagerly cocking its head in anticipation, very nicely observed.  Also lovely how the town is not all of one era.  Like in real life where the town just grows through the ages, certain buildings get demolished, certain buildings remain, others get added on and remodeled and repurposed. You get layers and layers of history and patina.

Isn't it fantastic to finally acquire a longer-for set?  I first saw the 4300 train station only on paper form in the catalog insert and I was like: they make these?!  I gotta get one.  The double arches especially are fantastic
and so useful.

Very nice town you've created!  I love all of the details you have put into it.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)
