Christmas countdown 😁

Welp, my latest Plarail shipment is actually in the UK, having taken less than a week to arrive from Osaka Kansai airport - Considering EMS has only just restarted, I'm well pleased with that result.

Or at least I would be if the UK Customs/ParcelForce (UK EMS) actually got my parcel moving, as it's been stuck in customs for nearly a week now 😑

I get that there's a combo of Christmas postal volumes and strikes presently, but no offence, I ordered stuff that was delivered by EMS during the height of the 'rona which was supposed to be the worst disruption to post ever, and they'd be in and out of customs in 2 days tops.

Anyway, as long as the stuff shows up, who cares, guess the stuff in that parcel that's for me can be a self-gift for my birthday or Christmas (my birthday's 22nd December LOL)

The main reason for this post, is what I've been doing while waiting 😜








So, we used to have a train that went around the Christmas tree that we got from a discount store; around G Scale, and never really worked all that great. Got rid of it a couple years back, and so this year (now I've got a lot of spare track), the tree railway is back and better than ever 😁

Works out anyway, as it's going to be a good test loop for the new trains when they arrive
