On this day in 1889 the Eiffel Tower opened.
March 31 1889 the world marveled at this new structure.
Tallest man made structure at the time symbolized Paris France.



A model of this structure would take a lot of time and space on your layouts.

On this day popular soul singer Marvin Gaye died.
His brilliant career was cut short on April 1 1984.



He still had more hit songs to come. Unfortunately....

The first edition of the Tyco Forum comes out. Back in the pre computer days, I used to dream about creating a
quarterly magazine dedicated to the average modeler, who liked to use Tyco and such as his medium. I wanted
to see something that would break away from the ever and ever more photoreal ethic promoted by MR. I wanted
to see something where a guy would still use horn hooks and could show of his paper mache mountain. And then
I wandered into this site.



This was article #1 regarding a Tyco Civil War Set.

One can find archival posts under "Newsletters" in the header bar.

On this somber day was D-Day on June 6 1944.

Start of our freedom from tyranny.

Many lives lost that day.

They gave their lives and health so today we can express our opinions.

Always give thanks to those who gave up the ultimate gift of life.



All lives matter.



Will never ever take a knee toward this wonderful land.

Many Men
Came here as soldiers
Many Men will pass this way
Many Men will count the hours
As they live The Longest Day

Many Men are tired and weary
Many Men are here to stay
Many Men won't see the sunset
When it ends The Longest Day

The Longest Day The Longest Day
This will be the Longest Day
Filled with hopes and filled with tears
Filled with blood and sweat and tears

Many Men the mighty thousands
Many Men to victory
Marching on right on to battle
In the Longest Day in history
