Rachel's beloved 20-year-old model train layout, Midale, arrived at HeroPress Towers today - courtesy of her parents.This marks the start of the next phase of decorating - Rachel's hobby room (ie. the back bedroom). We've still got her giant dolls house to move over from her parents', although that will almost certainly require "man with van".
Both that dolls house and Midale were built by Rachel's very talented dad - who will be returning soon to fix the battery on Midale as, at the moment, the church bells and the smoke generator aren't working!
The layout has faded with age, despite being kept undercover, but we like to think of it as 'weathering'.
Over the last few years Rachel and I have accumulated a host of new 'N' gauge people and buildings for the village, which will eventually need to be sited (I have dreams of a massive expansion project, but Rachel has put her foot down there... as it is her layout!).
Expect updates throughout 2010...
