A Happy Christmas to you all from us. Stay safe and well and keep on modelling

Seasons Greeting to you all.
Stay safe 'cos we want to see you all back with us in 2021

Well here we are Christmas Eve.

It's not the Christmas we wanted, nor frankly deserved.

However if this year has taught me anything it's try and be thankful for what you have.

Personally we can't spend the 5 days with Grandparents we wanted, but at least we still have them.

I have enjoyed this hobby massively this year and it truly has kept me sane.

I hope you all get a little something in 1:148 (or 1:150 or 1:160) and enjoy Christmas Day as best you can.

Ho Ho Ho to you all!

We hope you all have a happy, (as much as possible anyway), Christmas. We have all had some interesting times this year, some happy and some, sadly, not so happy.  On a personal note, I would like to thank the forum members for sharing their knowledge, advice and, yes, some humour over this past trying year. To Tank and all the Mod's - have a drink on me for doing a great job. I will pay you when I see you  .

From all in Averingcliffe, Louisa and myself, (and the dog ... and the cats   ). Take care.

David.

All the Best to everyone on the site, hope everyone has a nice Christmas and hopefully we will all have a good year next year. This is the most friendly site I know so Keep Safe everyone.

Hi all,

A strange year as other's have mentioned. Thank you to everyone on the Forum who have kept me and others going in these difficult times  .

I hope you all have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I don't have any new pics yet but here's one from last year and may your flatulence subside in 2021  .....

Try and have fun everyone,

Cheers, weave 

A Happy Christmas to all fellow forumites.
Like others, this forum has helped to keep me sane throughout 2020 so thank you to all those that have either read, contributed to or even enjoyed the absolute drivel and nonsense  that I have written.
Let's hope that 2021 offers us some hope and a way  out of the current troubles and worries.
Thanks to Tank and all the moderators who have kept this great distraction functioning and thanks to everyone for keeping things friendly and humorous.
Have a great time everyone and lets look forward to a happy, safe and prosperous new year.
Cheers 
Martin.

The warmest of festive greetings,
I send to you, one and all,
May your present be all that you wished for,
Properly N Gauge, and small...........

Merry Christmas -- BobD (N-Train)

Warmest seasonal felicitations to one and all.

After this strange year, here's hoping that next year will be a far better one

@weave You're kidding, Chris! It's my instant Covid test i.e. if I can smell 'em I know I'm OK.

 

- definitely on top of the list for the funniest one-liner of the year!

Sorry David ( @dannyboy  ), but it's a 'no contest' situation.


Merry Christmas Mick.

Today some will be celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, others the winter solstice or just letting their hair down because they can. There may even be a few celebrating the birth of Mithras, who's birthday was pinched by the Roman church for Jesus. Whichever it is, I hope you enjoy it.
For me, however, there is an additional anniversary because it is sixty years ago today I got my first train set! It was a Hornby-Dublo 2-rail set with a R1 0-6-0 tank engine in B.R. malachite, two open wagons and a ex-GWR brake van. I still have the train, although it's in a tatty state. Maybe I'll see if I can smarten it up a bit and remove the ill-advised weathering.
This has to be far and away the best Christmas present I ever received as it started me off on a hobby that I have never completely left in all this time. It has brought me a great deal of satisfaction and a certain amount of anguish in various scales from the Midland and Great Northern to the Norfolk and Western.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who got started with a train set on this date sometime in the past, so happy anniversary to you all.

Christmas greetings from Japan!
