Hello everyone.

So first, the very important thing that we need to talk about, the future of the Zany Zen Railway, i am not sure if you know, but on the 10th of November we lost someone truly important to me, and the railway, Amalia Illios, she sadly passed away from mounting real life health problems after fighting for the last 11 months, Amalia was my closest friend here and basically RL, talking to me daily, and never running out of anything to ever chat about, she was very in tune with me, to the point when I was having a bad day she would always know what to say, her loss has impacted me more then i ever expected, she was also our Head of Engineering, spearheading the Ferry and so many other projects, having the amazing ability to know what I needed without me saying a lot of the time, even as far to go in-depth on exhaust cover bobbing and researching retro reflective coatings on road signs. 

I am not sure if i am able to say if the railway will ever be the same without her, but i want to say, i know she would of wanted it to continue, i will continue to run events best i can, mega projects maybe few and far between, as you can see by the picture above, the locomotive Illios is now running in honour of Amalia, Illios is the last locomotive i will ever make, overhauls may happen to the others, but Illios will remain my last labour of love for Lia. Illios will be running for the foreseeable future till i am ready to take her off the passenger train, and she will be hauling the Santa Specials. A memorial will also be erected behind Seogyeo station to her in the coming months.

From the future we talk about the present, as you can see our annual snow has hit the ZZR, as always being incredibly localised to Ahndang and Seogyeo, as Santa once a year brings snow to allow him a soft landing at Seogyeo station. Snow will be around till the 1st of February! 

So come on by, get some hot chocolate, and ride in the warmth and comfort behind Illios.
