tichy.jpgWhat a pleasant surprise ‘ my order from the Tichy Train Group arrived ‘ one day before Christmas! I now have everything I need to finish the NES. I’m estimating that I need 20-30 hrs to complete the layout (yes, I know, a layout is never complete) and I would love to finish it over the next week ‘ before I return to work.

The two most pressing projects are to finish the town, and to design/build an industry for the autumn spur. I’m thinking I’ll build a feed mill ‘ or something similar. I’ve been browsing through images online and I think I have a sense of what I’d like. I’m not too worried about building an exact replica ‘ just something that captures the essence.

Anyway, thanks for visiting and offering your comments and support over the past year. I’ve made a number of new acquaintances in the past months, and I wish them, and everyone else, a Merry Christmas!
