Thank you very much for your kind comment. It really is one of the nicest things anybody has every written on MRF and I've had many very positive comments from the always-supportive members here. It really is a friendly, positive forum.
And you're right about the weather. It does seem to have been a very long grey wet February. Thankfully, the days are getting noticeably longer. Roll on Spring (seasons deserve a capital letter, I think).
And slowly, slowly, slowly the new scenic features inch closer to completion. It can't be long before I get them on the layout... can it?
