Another brief (well, brief for me) report about a 250 piece puzzle. It's image is William Powell Frith's 1862 painting of the Paddington Station. (about 3100 words; 24 photos)
Thanks, Bill. That you've featured a railway station puzzle is timely. I very recently finished studying a Great Course on "How Railways Transformed the World," a course I urged you to borrow. I saw Frith's painting of Paddington Station during the lecture series; and (I think) that unnamed artist's painting of the updated look of the same station was used there, too.
I like the anecdote about peering into Reid's ears to see trains running around in his brain when he was a train-obsessed youngster. Did he go through a similar dinosaur phase?
As always, I like the way you build up the puzzles sequentially that you discuss in your postings. Today's essay was another good one. Cheers, Greg
Thanks, Greg. For a while Reid did show an special interest in dinosaurs, learning the names of several types and whether they were herbivores, carnivores or omnivores, but it was never as obsessive or long-lasting as his interest in trains.
