I really like Chris’ work - but you are probably correct , I think one of the bloggers who has seen it said it looks different in style to last years so probs a different designer ..? 

I really like Chris’ work too. He is the amazing designer behind Santa’s Visit

Yeah, I dunno. We will know more better later then.

I'm dying for additional details to drop. Building descriptions, minifig count, tram track compatible?

Help me, @BrickClicker. You're my only hope.

I'll echo @Scoog on the tram compatibility with L-gauge track. On one hand, I'm (cautiously) optimistic and hopeful. But on the flip side of things the recent Hogwarts Express fiasco* has me feeling a bit bitter and cynical.

I’m quite looking forward for it so this will end people’s suffering of waiting here.

Thank you, that's a relief. Can you confirm it does NOT use the new road plates?

Allegedly, official set name is "Main Street"

I use the old style baseplates/road plates and therefore don't have a need for the newer road plate style. Also, since it's such a large part, I feel like they detract from the overall set value. That said, I like the look they bring to a fully furnished city where cost is not a factor. 

Just my $0.02

Yeah, Ideally it would be L gauge.  Even better if it can be easily motorized like the WV train was.  As for the Hogwarts.... I was really hoping it would be more like the Disney Train, motorized, two passenger cars, and a full station.  As it is, there is not reason for us L gauge folks to buy it.

Gotcha! Thank you for your time to explain. I through road plates look great with any set but I like classic road baseplate as well.

Very interesting stuff! I take the tram is indeed compatible with the system tracks.

I wonder how big it is, thought? It can fit 4 minifigures and can be modified to include an engine, so it needs to be fairly big.

As a matter of fact, the whole set sounds pretty big, but it's only 100€ so that seems impossible. I'm so excited to see how it turns out, will definetly get it.

[Scoog]

Each shop has an apartment above it and tram having ability for power is a score.

Thoughts on minifig count? I'm thinking at least 5 (2 shop owners, 2 shoppers, tram driver)

[Lion King]

I wonder ho w deep the buildings gonna be? Brick Clicker did say they are pretty shallow, didn’t he? But I’m really interested to see apartments above the stores.

and tram sounds interesting to me!

i feel like it’s at least 5 minifiugres.

[Celtchief]

If the tram is indeed L Gauge, looks like a old fashioned trolley, and can have a motor added easily, this will exactly what I have wanted.  Time to think about how to add the tram line into the village.....  

[Kallego]

Promobricks confirmed in their stream that the tram fits the standard  tracks.

From how i understood them it  might look similar to this one:

Also a christmas tree with probably a Light brick is included
