Okay. How does this work, again?

Pardon me if this seems like I wrote it in random order - it seems that way, because it's true.
I've been having fun over the past few days, making a Christmas Surprise for Lamb. Last year, she found my old N-gauge trains. 25 years ago I had built a layout that I could slide under my Ikea couch when not in use but, when SWHTL and I left Arlington, I left the layout behind - but Lamb found the few remains, scattered left overs from the era of skinny ties and Eurotrash pop music.
And Lamb, being Lamb, found the trains and asked if we could make a "Christmas Village" and I told her sure, but then got tied up with work and other projects and nothing happened.
Till 2 days ago.
Troll, Jr, and I got Home Depot to cut the deck for a layout, and then I locked my home office door and got busy. 2 days later, here is the
result. Yes, I know 2/3rds of the layout is unfinished - that was deliberate. I want to give Lamb the chance to decide how the rest should be arranged, and which 20 year old buildings should be replaced with something more modern. (Or, with something more old-school, if that's what she wants.)
Other than that, I feel like someone who had part of his brain shot off in the war.
