Merry Christmas to all.

I am off work for 11 days from next Friday and I'm looking forward to spending most of that on my layout. We have no visitors planned and no travel.  How much am I looking forward to that!? :thumbsup:

Christmas means the start of my layout!  Baseboard kit is here (needs assembling), train set is under the tree (metaphorically, I suspect it's actually hidden in a wardrobe), and a parcel of extra track bits to get me a little way beyond a basic oval has arrived from Hattons.

Just need to get through the next 5 days of work without going mad - 19th December is not the right time to start installing customers for a new service that kind of technically hasn't been finished developing yet  ::)  Off then until the 3rd though, so time to play!

Whether you're modelling or not though, have a great Christmas all!

To all  members of a religious persuasion enjoy the holiday,
to those of a non religious persuasion (like me ) the same applies .

Anyways enjoy and ignore the galoots  on breakfast TV who say that a
couple of days enjoying some food and drink will kill you.

As they old saying goes " There ain't no rehearsal for life . enjoy it
first time round"

So treat yourself to that loco !

May I also thank the members of the forum for the kind words and recommendations that I have received from them over the past year.

I did not join the forum until September and I was surprised at the number of my customers, sorry wrong word, friends who were on it.

Here's looking forward to 2013 with many new releases from Kato and making more friends on this forum.
