Isn't there a rule against girls making better models than the boys? It
scared the life out of me when that truck started moving around on its own.
I was about to send for a priest. I'm jealous of anyone who's got polarity
switches anyway, so those vehicles were brilliant.
I also liked your tilt train Jon (when there was finally enough floorspace
to put some track down, so a lot of people would have left and missed this
gem) - magical to watch it working so well.
Did I mention I saw a live steam train near Banbury on the way up? Not sure
what type exactly, but it was quite a surprise. And as for spending money,
I went to a collectors fair with my parents the day after; between them, on
N-Gauge and Beanie Babies, they spent about £80. About the same as me then.
Unfortunately, I couldn't persuade my Dad to go for an N-Gauge Saxa Salt
wagon, so that I could photograph an N, OO and a 6-wide together.
Big-up thanks to Tony for hosting it. I hope your house returns to its
normal size soon.
