Just blether.
Big boys' toys or what, most folk grow out of such, so no idea why I am so addicted to our railway. My very close chum, Mick, who so sadly died a few years ago, was quite an inspiration. He was a Technical Illustrator by trade. He modelled railways as well as painting pictures. He would capture a scene in a picture, then model it. I went to his home one day where he was changing one of his paintings, as he had moved a few trucks into another siding & liked it.
I have no art ability like that, but I do exactly the same thing on our model railway, then picture it in my mind.
I am convinced that if I had the ability to paint & draw, I would never have been so addicted to our in effect moving picture.

Always a snag!
Time doesn't stand still. The days when my son & grandson would spend a whole evening shunting in the goods yard as I call it are long gone. The railway was designed for a minimum of two operatives, better with three, all needing to know & understand the system & controls. So, I can understand why some modellers have simpler round & round railways.
Years ago on a Boxing Day, three of us worked the railway to its maximum, but it took over eight hours.
So nowadays, I am content to wander into our railway room (a bit cluttered as is our home, from having Pam's bed downstairs, along with all of her medical equipment everywhere) & operate just a couple of trains, changing the picture just as Mick did on his railway. It often takes a fortnight before I see those trains again. What a pip! |

Please laugh!
I didn't know that there is a village in Oxfordshire, called "Brill". It had a short steam tramway a century ago.
Well, I did ask you to laugh!
Brill, brill & brill! |
