I spent 5 years working in a model shop from the ages of 16 to 21.  There's buggar all I don't know about model railways lol

Mind you things might have changed a bit since then.

Yep, it'll never be finished.  But it's quite good to think "right, I'm sorting the coal drops and staithes tonight" - so I start after work at 4, and before you know it, shit it's 12, and I've got to be up in 6 hours etc.!

Wish I had more skills though to create paper mache and paint it decent.  Mine looks like it's been done by a 3 year old with Crayola crayons.........

After an absence of about 40 years, finally got back into 00 guage.

In fact, devoted an entire room to it.

9 foot by 5 foot baseboard.

Style is the NER, around the 1950's, so mainly steam shunters, coal trucks, branch lines, but also a hint of early diesels.

Spent the last 3 weeks, every day sorting it.  Now can anyone sell me a new back, cos mine is fucked.
