Christmas Eve in Oak Valley
Peace on Earth and Good Will To Men. I couldn’t resist these last evening photographs on Christmas Eve. I had the oil painting decades before the Christmas village, but always thought they looked lovely together. On Christmas Day a new group of people will move to Oak Valley, so check back on December 25th!
Oak Valley, a Miniature Town in 1912

Hi there! I’d like to send you greetings from germany, where to most of your miniature people come from! You have a wonderful piece of work there, it is a pleasure to look at the pictures. And I’d like to tell you that I too own most of the carriages and mini figures around 1900 from the Preiser Company, they will be the population of my model railway. In fact I am painting some of the coaches and people right this time.
Yours sincerely, Harald from Germany, Heidelberg area.

It is so nice to hear from you, Harald! I purchased most of my carriages over 20 years ago when one of the local model train stores carried all of the Preiser c1900 pieces. The store was sold to an owner who seems to concentrate more on model trains for children. I would love to shop in the local shop instead of buying online. I would love to see a picture of your town.
