Lemax 45735-UK Christmas Village Sights & Sounds: Christmas Clock Tower

I like the look of it and i like the trains that go around also the sound is good

Ideal centrepiece for your Christmas village with good construction (you do hear horror stories of Lemax products that have moving parts arriving in pieces). Music can be played but also muted as well; Santa's sleigh, train and lighting are active on both settings. A bit fiddly to get back in the box, otherwise a great feature.

We had seen this in a local garden centre and my partner loved it but they were out of stock so I ordered as a surprise pre Christmas. He absolutely loved it - it is very well engineered and you can adjust the volume. Probably his best Christmas present

I loved the look of this piece, and will definitely try to buy it again at a reasonable price next year, as it has some lovely moving features, and is a good height and shape to add a bit of difference to a Lemax display.The clock faces aren’t functional, but instead little paper circles stuck to the tower. This is a poly resin piece rather than a porcelain one, but not one of the plasticky-looking ones. This also has a good combination of lights - with a mix of internal lighting and little external downlighters. The piece is powered by an (included) 4.5v mains adapter.Unfortunately I had to return the clock tower received from this order as it had multiple major faults. The sound unit appeared to have shaken loose in transit, was rattling about inside the tower and wasn’t working at all, and both the little sleigh and train that are supposed to go round the clock tower weren’t moving properly. These would go a tiny amount, then get stuck making horrible grinding noises and only move again after being given a little push, stick, grinding noises, repeat.Additionally one of the little resin Christmas trees had come unglued from the base. If this had been the only fault, I would have kept it and just glued it back on as Lemax is very prone to this happening - we have quite a big display and usually have a gluing session at the start of the season to reattach small resin feature pieces on which the adhesive has given up.

The media could not be loaded. We saw this and many others in the product line up at a garden centre but they had sold out of the clock tower. Fortunately Amazon have probably the whole range online. So I secretly ordered it and when it arrived gave it to my wife who had been admiring it each time we visited the garden centre. Imagine her joy and getting the clock tower. We have been culling our Xmas decorations over the last 4-5 years and this year have bought a few "select" new pieces...... Under the review panel it asks for feedback on this toy, it is not a toy, there are a few delicate connections to the lights. It is a "Decorative" piece themed around Xmas.

The media could not be loaded. What a fantastic addition to my Christmas scene made last year,great value for money and like all of the Lemax range highly detailed. It has two rotating trains and LED lighting and plays a christmas tune with a clock sound effect. Very beautiful.

Very good as it should be

Obvious repair undertaken as clear sealant used to repair several damaged corners and glued on two broken trees at the base- quality compromised as this was not due to packaging issues.
