Coming along nicely...

Thought I'd give you an update on the model railway. I've now fixed the track permanently in place, with its "foam ballast" glued down and all of the bends sorted out and the gradients manageable by my lovely "City of Bath" locomotive with at least one carriage. I am sure model railway purists would get a little sniffy about the tightness of my loops (the downward spiral is radius 1 - very dodgy, according to my local model shop but my engine manages it really well) and the steepness of my hills, but I just have to have a viaduct, so I have to have hills on either side.

The spare bedroom is fast becoming too small. I think my sons worry that, as they each grow up and go off to college, they'll return from uni to find their bedroom has been added onto the railway network.

But this is such fun! Got to start adding scenery, and at least one railway station pronto.
