It is my treat this year to send a Hintock Christmas Greeting in the form a graphic, a wonderful Christmas card that highlights Hintock in a make believe Christmas setting, the snow anyway. One of the greatest treats of getting older, besides the additional time to devote to one’s model railway, is enjoying one’s grandchildren. The wonderful graphic card of which I am so proud was made for me my granddaughter, Holly Flann. Would you agree with me that is some talent? And that is not her only talent either.

While Hintock is of course set in Dorset, not normally home to coniferous forests, I am very happy for it to be moved to higher and forested climes for this seasonal picture. The snowy forest background also has the effect of channeling one’s view down the line in a way that emphasizes the intimate nature of a model railway depicting a branch line. As appropriate, I hope Holly turns her hand to more Hintock graphics for us all to enjoy when she has time. Thank you, Holly.
