I've just this week seen preparations for Christmas getting underway, so I thought I'd get out "The Christmas Cracker"

One of the sets of lights was out, so I checked the wiring and found I needed a replacement.
All the lights came from "Layouts 4U" so I placed an order Thursday night at about 8.30, and the lights were with me 10.30 this morning (Saturday) :thumbsup:
What fabulous service :D :D :D :D :D
Just fitted them, and all is working fine :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Ho Ho Ho !
All best wishes
Kevin

I know it's early, but that cheered me up. Had a crap week, so thanks for posting this again Kevin.

Not this forum, mate. ;)
Love it. Two questions;
1. What did you use for snow?
2. Should I be worried about Mrs Claus? :D :D :D

Congratulations, you've won a free entry on the Today's Groaner thread. :) :) :)
Absolutely fabulous, Kevin.
Thank you very much.
All good wishes.

You could have a festive mince pie while you are about it. Available now in Waitrose (best before 10/11... ;D )
Cheers,
Chris
Hi All,
sorry you had a bit of a :poop: week emjaybee, hope your weekend was better :D
Glad you all like the layout, and it brings a smile. I really posted it up to draw attention to the excellent service from Layouts 4U where I got the lights from.
Can anyone guess how many bulbs are on the layout ?
Graham, the snow was Woodland Scenic https://www.hobbies.co.uk/woodland-scenics-soft-flake-snow on sculptamold, and I used their video to plan the scenics. I tried using a white silicon base, but got in a bit of a mess :D :-[ :D

Mrs Santa sends her love :heart2:
I put one of Santa's helpers on the back of the coach, but I think she is a bit close to the red tail light

A lovely layout. Up to your usual very high standard, Kevin, with plenty to see. Did everyone notice the penguin pair?
Another fantastic seasonal layout in a vandal proof case for the retirement home not a pub ?

I wasn't looking at/for the penguin pair! :)
Hi All,
Not quite ready for a retirement home yet Chris :P but the layout is in a bullet proof case for the pub, where Mr and Mrs Trainfish have seen it in real life :D

Glad you saw the penguins Chris :D :D :D
In case you missed them (David :D ), here they are ...
(https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/gallery/136/5755-121023233432-1363271356.jpeg)
There are also several rabbits, a badger, two red squirrels a fox and a mouse (like that artist drew in his illustrations :thumbsup: )
Just last week I added a polar bear..... depending on which hemisphere the layout is set in either the bear or the penguins have had a long walk to meet up ;) )
(https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/gallery/136/5755-121023233432-136327308.jpeg)
And there is also the Partridge in the Pear Tree .....
(https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/gallery/136/5755-121023233427-1363261689.jpeg)
The partridge perched on the illuminated post (from Layouts 4 U) and the Pear Tree sign was from Scale Model Scenery
Anyway, now back to the harbour layout updates soon (promise ::) )
All best wishes
Kevin

PS Can anyone guess how many lights are on the layout ?
What I meant
@Phoenix Kevin was made instead of displaying in a pub maybe a retirement home to cheer up the residents
Love the vandal proof Box and Hope any charity tibs will be at the bar
Looks stunning Kevin. :thumbsup:

125 (ish) ???
Hi David,
A few more than that :D :D :D
I think I will sort out a prize for who guesses the closest as a thank you to all who helped me along the way :hmmm:
All best wishes
Kevin
:beers:
Looks amazing Kevin.
I'm guessing a little higher than
@dannyboy at 185.
Cheers
Martin
Okay Martin
@port perran - I will see your 185 and raise you 25! (210). :)
