Advent Madness: CITY Day 20

Advent Madness Day Twenty
CITY
(Open the Doors Here)



Palette Jack with extra bits

I've spent far too much time wandering around stock rooms - today's mini-model was an easy one for me to recognize. It's a palette jack - here's a video of one in action.

As far as mini-models go, I'm happy with this one. It's not a common item, but it's well rendered and has some non-standard construction to it. (The light-clip plates as wheels is a particularly nice touch.)

Now, what this has to do with Construction...or Trains....or the Construction of Trains...I have no idea. This sub-theme is still taking shape, I guess.

It'll probably be late January before I have time to even think about it. I wanted to do a review of the new Power Miner stuff (Found it all at TRU last week) but I haven't even found time to take a single photo yet. Advent stuff really eats up all of my December timetable. Sorry...

How are the Power Miner sets? Some of them look good.

Speaking of timetables, where's the comic for today, Chris?

Did blogger/google blow a server or something? It's usually around by now.

Geoffrey,

No, just running behind again. I should be back on schedule by Sunday night.
