A severe attack of logic:

Harry's Hornby will now be moving to the cellar (5m x 3.6m) and the spare bedroom (2.5m x 2.5m available) will now house my 2mm layout. When he prefers girls to trains I'll move my layout to the cellar.

The cellar room was cleared, but has now acquired some surplus furniture. When that finds a home I will be able to start preparation. I'm currently adding lights to the Hornby Railroad carriages. I've already added seats and passengers.

Now I've joined the Association I'll create a small test track and start practising wagon-building and turnout production.
