Model Railways


It's been over a week since I last blogged which is the longest I've gone, including when I went away for my skiing holiday. So there's lots to catch-up on.

The main reason for my absence has been a little project called a model railway which I've been building on the pretense that it's for my little boy. I've been spending the evenings playing with trains. I've even bought a couple of new ones.








It's just a basic oval with a few sidings but the interesting bit is thinking about how I can expand it as well as browsing the online catalogue's to decide what to buy and run on the layout. I want to build something that's fairly accurate in terms of what runs on the tracks if I say that the pretend station is somewhere in Cheshire. I also want to be able to perform lots of different train movements to make the layout fun to play with.


I feel like a big kid again (and considering what I watch and read that's saying something!).
