My train's in trouble!

I've had my first train crash!



There I was stretching over my model railway layout to check the points were correct, and I accidentally flicked the knob on my controller. My lovely little train - a GWR City of Bath steam loco, came thundering far too fast around the bend, and then shot through the air landing face down on the floor. Wheels everywhere, bits and pieces flying off in all directions.

Aaagh! What do you do with a little train that can't? (As opposed to the little train that could, geddit?)

So thanks, thanks, thanks to two lovely gentlemen, Tony Giles and Robert Denton, from the Reading Society of Model Engineers, who have come to my rescue. They promise me it can all be fixed.

It SO helps to have friends in high places. Plus, they tell me I'm not weird to be a lady of a certain age getting into this new obsession. So that's a relief!
