And Grumbly after. Gasworks now as you enter town... I may add a few lights back there again.

Thanks for the kind words.Kev, it is only 'sunny' at the front of the layout. In my imagination, in the 'top left-hand corner of Wales' where this layout is set, it is often gloomy. But it is too dark back there. I plan to add a few lights.
Doug, I know what you mean. For me it comes as the extra money does and that has been slow as of late. Right now I am at a stop in progress for more elect to power up the addition and landscaping supplies to build the hills. Looking good and nice to have real-estate to work with. It is all about imagination.
Worked over the weekend on adding a few lights to Grumbly Town, and added to Llaniog all the ceramic buildings and accessories taken from Grumbly and combined with trees removed from around Ivor's shed,
Doug......I am a sucker for your lighted buildings. This nearly got me in trouble with the Christmas layout. After we (I) hooked up her lighted Christmas village pieces, I took out my wife's Thomas Kincade buildings (from the china cabinet, AA battery powered) and she almost went berserk, apparently feeling they were too delicate for the floor layout with grandkids and the dog. Go figure. Anywho, did you run the wires for yours under the layout? Are the pieces in the back corner all lighted too? You certainly have a lot of valuable real estate to work with.

Unfortunately, Jack, I can't run anything under the layout because it is just the indoor/outdoor carpet, then 1 and 1/2 inch of foam board, then the radon covers. So all the wires are coming out of the buildings in the back and I've covered them with a green towel as sort of a hill, then they're plugged into an extension cord which I hide in a run up to the front of the layout where it runs back to the main power cord. So nothing's buried.I found some elephants today at Michaels- most have been too small or too expensive. These are related to some adventures with Ivor and Charlie Banger's Circus which winters along Ivor's route.
Looking good doug yeah we now have elephants
