(...) Peter I agree. I too have a lot of old bricks. Many of the white mint bricks I have from the 1970's have "tanned" as well, due to sunlight.

There's this loco I'd been working on, and I've taken a printout of a real world picture of it for the build. Anyway, in the dream, I realised that (...)
