With it being Christmas Day yesterday there was much excitement at WMD HQ as presents were unwrapped. Mrs Woody got various items including a new fancy hairdryer which makes the possibility of the old one repurposing itself into the man cave AKA The Room of Gloom a possibility!
The cats were pleased with their cat nip packages which they soon were playing with. Sammy, who passed away this year used to love these and would end up drooling and rubbing the package all over his head in a frenzy of cat delight! Although Chloe and Holly didn't droll as much they still found a good few minutes to play with these small packages.
I did get a number of packages one of which was indeed small but contained a wonderful 009 loco.
This beauty is the Bachmann Ffestiniog Railway Double Fairlie 'Livingston Thompson' in lined maroon complete with DCC sound chip. I had to escape to the Room of Gloom for an hour or so whilst Mrs.W was sorting out handbags or something like that, and soon had it going round my 009 layout, even if it was un-prototypically hauling a rake of Lynton and Barnstable coaches! It runs great and is a fantastic addition to the 009 fleet. Gives me some increased impetus to finish the layout. There were some bigger packages but more about those another day. In the meantime I am enjoying this nice loco which indeed came in a small package!
