Hi All,
Some of you may know I have been getting out my "Christmas Cracker" layout ready for that time of year :D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7c6vV7Fbno&t=3s
And I thought as a thank-you to all who helped me along the way we'd have a competition :thumbsup:
So get your specs on, and work out how many lights there are altogether (not including on the train )
Here's a clue ....

And what's the prize. It's a copy of the book showing the building of the layout, including the conversion of the train the magnorail skaters, and some scenic photos :D :D :D

I'll stick with what I put on the other thread - 210.
I'll stay with 185
300 plus
I'll go with my pin number 153 ;)
Ooops I should have mentioned I was starting a new thread :-[
Incidentally, you can have another guess weave ..... how about your card number next :D :D :D
All best wishes
Kevin

@Browning 9mm Wrong thread, Alan :telloff:
227
Hey Ho Browning 9mm
I guess this topics not for you, and yes it's early as I did reference.
Sometimes you do have to work things out early
Enjoy your mince pies ;)
All best wishes
Kevin
:beers:
A lot. ;)
212 is my considered calculation. It's also the security code for Weave's credit card. :D
Hi All.
Hope everyone is well. It's horrible weather here, ideal time for modelling so there will be more updates from the harbour :thumbsup:
Meanwhile keep counting the lights, as the competition will end after the weekend, winner announced Monday :D :D :D
All best wishes
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Ignoring "300 plus" as that's just cheating and "a lot" as that's just silly (naughty Bealman :D ) we've now got 153, 160, 185, 210, 212 and 227 so is it nearest wins or do we have to be exact?
Cheers, weave :beers:
Hi Chris,
Hope you had a good weekend ;)
No one has it exact yet, so if no one gets it spot on, closest gets the prize :D :D :D
PS Lovin' your scenic test track :thumbsup:
All best wishes
Kevin

125

All best wishes

I've only just found this thread and was going to say 228. I don't want your book anyway :no:
Don't want the book John ......
Now why would that be :D ;) :D
Because I have the one with all the spelling mistakes :D
Yes, the very first proof copy when you saw the layout in real life ..... funnily enough in a pub :D :D :D
Incidentally, not only are there a couple of spilling mistokes, but I think you have the copy with a lovely cameo picture of a fox having a :poop:
All best wishes
Kevin
:beers:

thanks a lot.
Well, if I remember correctly my first guess was a higher number well above 300, but then I corrected towards a lower number...
And today I would consider as early christmas day :D
The photobook has arrived. It looks great. Your work has been admired by rhe whole family.
Thanks once more.
