The exact anniversary i missed but on January 31st 2013 i finally resumed my adventures in model railways after stopping in my early 20s (which was the early 1990s). That day the Falcon and a couple of coaches, plus track and a controller arrived. I didn't have a layout board yet so tested the Falcon on the dining table. The boards were built in early April and the layout took shape properly in the Summer of 2013.
The current layout is the third generation board. The Falcon is still working, indeed it had a run on Sunday. The Falcon does have a bit of an intermittent fault though so i don't know if its time to consider semi-retirement after ten years of operation. Circling the various layouts thousands of times. Here is to the next ten years. Maybe i will finish the current layout at last. But don't bet on it.
