It has been a busy holiday with family and friends. I really didn’t have time to write anything. I hope all of you and yours had a joyous Christmas.
Did you get any new 1/43rd acquisitions over the holidays? What are your planned purchases. Post pictures if you can.
I want to wish everyone a energetic and pleasant New Year

I know how you feel. I haven't really spent much time with my layout these last few days, although toy trains, as around the tree, are on my mind a lot. I am taking off next week from work and do plan so serious time in my trainroom.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!
Here are a couple Richard. My dear wife Elizabeth wanted to get me a couple of vehicles for Christmas to go with our layout. My favorite car period is the fifties. She asked what kind of cars my parents or I had during this time frame and I told her Mercury, Chrysler, Dodge, and Buick. She went on the internet but could not find what she was looking for. In the past, I had purchased some really nice vehicles from Dominion Models, so I suggested she check out their website. This is what she came up with that is pretty special to me. You can tell she likes models of convertibles and so do I.

The 1954 Mercury is one of my favorite cars. I don't have the Brooklin model, but I have a Collector Classics Sun Valley and a Brooklin Canadian '54 Monarch

Thanks Richard for your comments. Also thank you for posting those wonderful Mercury pictures. They sure bring back fond memories.
No new cars, and although many saw the cars on my Christmas layout, few people commented on them (not even the one I spent $250. on!).
I've wondered why Ford only offered the '54 Mercury Sun Valley in two colors...pale yellow or green, both with a dark green roof.
Joe:
I went looking for the photo of the $ 250.00 vehicle. I sure would like to see it. Could you please re-post it here?

I am unable (too stupid) to post pictures. It is a Conquest "55 DeSoto.
Thanks for your response Joe. Posting photos to the Forum has been made very easy. This is something I am confident you can learn.
