Another catch with a lovely JE and a new member - we're on a roll this turn it seems!

Team Thimble: Asche und Diamant sent off to a wishful recipient
Team Train: Round Tower at the Top of The World Revolving Restaurant, on the top floor of the Atlantic Tower Motel. The Yellow Wallpaper in with the Yellow paint at a hardware shop, since (apparently) wallpaper isn't trendy enough to sell!
