... I was persuaded to enter my nascent minimum P4 opus - originally called "D Wharf" but subsequently renamed - into the Gloucester Model Railway Club Exhibition. This was October, 1991 (I think) and I had the idiocy to presume the bare boards and plethora of copperclad pointwork would burgeon into a fully-functional, living, breathing entity that would keep me entertained in the years to come.

How wrong a boy can be... not so much "opus" as hopeless....
