Larry Manlove operates his trains in the basement of his Lewes home. Manlove started setting up trains at Christmas as a youngster growing up in Seaford, and he's kept up the tradition for the past 60 years.
After moving to Lewes last year, he set up his trains in a permanent display and added a small table for his grandchildren.
