Model Railways
Locos from the 1800s
Photographs and a little about models of The Rocket, John Bull, Der Adler, The DeWitt Clinton and the Lafayette.
Hornby Live Steam Scotsman
A Hornby Live Steam Double Tender Flying Scotsman, control system, rolling road and accessories, these were in 4 boxes that I was given most unexpectedly as a present.
Major Changes
I'm beginning to wonder if we should have started.
We decided to put an expanse of water at the back of the layout and also to included a canal., when we actually started I had my doubts about it being a good idea.
How It Started
Well in the Train Room Anyway
A Hornby R674 Midnight Freight train set for my son for Christmas 1990 was the start of a layout that has been in 3 different rooms and in many guises. The room that it is in now will be its permanent home, I think. It has a baseboard 12 feet by 4 feet.
