Come see the show

Gonou will be making it's final exhibition appearance at the Granite City trainable on December 11th.
Final because after this show I will be ending my involvement with T scale. I've decided to face up to the fact that my eyes can't cope with the small size anymore. It's not so much the rolling stock and the buildings it's the accessories.
A while ago I received a pack or two of the Eishindo cars. They come in two parts a chassis and a clear plastic body shell. I haven't been able to make out the details on the body shell since I got them. So I've decided to call it a day.
So if anyone who reads this blog wants a T scale layout come over to the show and make me an offer over $250 and we'll talk. You could be the owner of a very unique model railway layout.

A very great shame to see you leave our Tiny world. Very sad indeed. I hope you met someone with the sense to buy your layout.

Well, I was going to use the same excuse for leaving the small scales myself a while back--these old eyes aren't getting any better. But then I got myself a pair of good strong reading glasses. It took a year or so to get used to them, but eventually they became a part of me, and now I dive into small-scale projects with the same enthusiasm as before. I also recently met a fellow who creates gorgeous hand-laid Z scale track--and he has Parkinson's. So, I sincerely hope something brings you back to T. You've done some inspirational work, and it would be a shame for the scale to lose this talent.

Thanks both of you for the messages of support. I think you'll find I'm back.

Terraces are highly versatile in terms of functionality and can be used for a variety of activities including, but not limited to: gardening, relaxation, entertaining guests, sunbathing, and barbecuing. Sometimes, there is a hot tub, jacuzzi, or a small swimming pool on terraces.
