I’m sorry if this is a little OT

From the BBC:

“A train buff emigrating to Australia is bequeathing a £50,000 (~$80,000) model railway set in his garden of his home to whoever buys the house.

Gordon Archer has spent more than eight years building his dream railway, which has 600ft of track, tunnels, stations and bridges.

But the pensioner cannot take the pinnacle of his railway-building career with him as much of the track is embedded in concrete or too big to transport.”
