Armadilloville started out as a joke. In the archives of the Tyco Forum,
it too started out as a joke. Its headers said things like, "Laughing Stock
Box Car of the Week, or similar." THANK YOU Todd for bring the Forum back.
It was the first, it was the best, and it was missed.

As time passed, it turns out there are a number of modelers that didn't regard Tyco as a joke,
but were serious collectors doing amazing things. Almost every rivet counter
I've met had a start in Tyco.

Armadilloville is zany. It combines a number of inside jokes with friends and
family, and additionally visual puns regarding my interest in prehistoric fauna-
most notably the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Wooly Mammoth, herein.

Over the years there have been at least nine total revisions of the Tycomania layout. This is the latest.

Thanks, WKS. I will be installing bushes at the base of T Rex with
a nudist colony running out of them, for their lives.
