One of the great features of the Internet is its ability to bring together people of similar interests. Patrick first made contact when he signed my guestbook. Unlike some webmasters I sincerely believe that those who take the time to sign a guestbook should be acknowledged and by doing so I have made many "e-friends".

Patrick who lives in Valais, Switzerland is constructing an N-scale European layout called "Cenick-Ville" and regularly sends me photos of his progress. I was so impressed with the photos that I thought others should see Patrick's efforts and so with his permission I have dedicated some pages to his layout.

This is the second version of Cenick-Ville. It is constructed on three levels and like the previous version the available space is used to include both urban and rugged mountain landscapes. There is a definite leaning towards Switzerland but the layout includes elements from other European countries especially in the buildings and trackside features. I hope that you enjoy this brief glimpse of Cenick-Ville and if you would like to send a message to Patrick please address it to me at CenickVille@johnwhitby.com It is Patricks aim to publish his own website when time permits but until then you can follow the progress of Cenick-Ville here.

Here is a taster of the new Cenick-Ville.........More photos to follow
