New Year's Day 2012 and while everybody was no doubt recovering from the previous evenings celebration I decided to take a new young recruit in to see the layout, my five year old nephew Tom.

| Here he is nonchalantly posing for the camera as he has no doubt got used to from the thousands of photos of him taken by his grandmother |
The first thing we did was lay some track in the fiddle yard to complate some of the siding loops. I drilled pilot holes for the track pins and Tom put pins into the holes. Then I showed him how to use a pin pusher to push in the track pins. With a little help he became quite good at pushing track pins in.

| This is one of the power feed droppers going in. We have soldered the power feeds to the undersides of the connecting fish plates so they will be almost invisible in the finished layout. |
Here's a short video of Tom having his forst try at controlling DCC trains with the
Bachmann Dynamis wireless Control sytem that we had chosen for the layout
