10 Jan 5 2018 - I had a bit of an accident. :( I had some the buildings/structures I built for the previous layout on a bookshelf in the model workshop. The coal mine buildings were on the top shelf. There was a framed picture sitting on the shelf behind them. I bumped the book shelf and the picture fell forward knocking the Walthers coal mine kit 7ft down onto the floor. And then the picture/frame landed on the remains of the kit.
