Joe’s been in touch with his HO scale diorama:

“Hello,

At age 72 with limited space and color printing capability, I was able to relive a part of my youth when a 4′ x 8′ sheet of 3/4″ plywood was acres and acres.

So with computer images, balsa wood, a color printer, a couple of car kits, and purchased landscaping and a few spots of glue, this is what I came up with.

Thanks for your great email links and photos.

Sincerely,

Joe”

Henry’s up next, with his annual update on his layout:

“Hello Alastair

It is the 4th of January 2025, so let me wish you and all your readers a very happy 2025.

It has become tradition that every year on the 4th of January, I do an annual layout update, and this year is no exception, it is now 8 years since I have started my current layout.

I include a link to the youtube video, plus a few random photos.

Henry”
