Are you working on a layout? Have you got a finished (ish) layout you are hiding away?! We would love to see what you have been working on! Send them as attachments, with the subject line 'FAO Hayley' to sales@kernowmodelrailcentre.com please :) The images are playing up again, but see past layouts added here!
Things You Didn't Know You Didn't Know (or maybe you did?!)
Did you know... unlike the other planets in our solar system, which were named after Greek or Roman deities, the name 'Earth' for our planet originates from Old English and Germanic languages, specifically the word "eorþe" or "ertha". These words simply mean "ground" or "soil".
James' joke of the week... Why does ice cream always get invited to the party? Because it’s cool!
