The Evolution Of New Mannum

Recommended Posts

For post number........

I thought I would talk about the evolution of New Mannum.

Okay, the name.....well, I'm a Buck Rodgers fan and in the early 80's TV series all of Earth's cities had New in front of their names....i.e. New London.

Now that's the new part explained, the name Mannum is from the South Aussie river town that my family moved to in 1840 and helped build it.

Hence since I'm building mine, add New and Mannum together......presto New Mannum.

So back in late 2009 we started with this......

Not long after.....only about two to four months a complete rethink....the first of many took place

Though changes happen again and again at Christmas 2010......

After Railshow 2011 I went a little crazy on the town's layout......

Late 2011

Mid 2012 saw the beginning of the 8x16 tiled roadways.....

2014 saw even more changes......

I was still restless in 2014......

And now 2015.........

I guess I might never finish New Mannum or ever be 100% happy with it......though it's current layout works the best transport wise and it has a small country town feel like my very first one did back in late 2009.

So here's to my next 20000 posts on Eurobricks.......Brick On and Keep Watching ! :sweet:
