Where to Start
Start with the border, then build the train, using its colors as a guide, since it stands out right away. Next, work on the station building. After that, piece together the children and platform. Finally, fill in the trees and sky, sorting those pieces by shade.

We live in Southern Pines also and have glued the pieces together and mounted it on a display board. We can put it on the coffee table or put it in a frame and hang it. Loved that the depot was picked to depict SP. Karen was so helpful. we ordered two, one for a friend but they had only one in stock. Gave me the first order discount when I added to the order when the second puzzle came in.

This is a beautiful puzzle and I enjoyed working it. However, I have 2 complaints regarding certain puzzle pieces that caused frustration. The key to starting any puzzle is to get the edge pieces done quickly. There were 2 sky pieces that did not interlock, just butted up to the next piece, leaving me to wonder if I had missed something. And as it was the sky, not something done early or easy. I wasn’t sure of them until near the end when the interior pieces locked everything in place. This was frustrating! Also, several interior pieces had perfectly straight edges, leading one to believe they were edge pieces. This should not be. I would rate this puzzle 5 stars if not for these factors. It would be nice if future puzzles did not have this problem. I still have 3 to go.
