Sorry I haven't replied since - I've been quite busy with this and that. I'd like to say how grateful I am for all of your overwhelmingly supportive and kind comments; it has helped to clear my mind quite a lot! It was great to read through all of your comments and advice, and I feel happier now than I did before thanks to you. I think this is what is great about this community: helping others. Thank you once again, T

Currently I'm at some crossroads in my life. For the past ten years or so, I've been fascinated by trains and greatly enjoyed model railways. I spent countless hours reading about railways, visiting the local heritage lines, and tinkering about with model trains. However, I've found myself moving further and further away from this hobby, despite it being a large part of my childhood. I think this really came apparent to me when I found an old micro layout I remember building one afternoon in the garden, last summer. And I remember how it was a last ditch attempt at me staying interested in the hobby; I presumed making a little project would inspire me to carry on. It didn't work. Since then, all my model railway stuff has stayed untouched for over eight months. I find it quite odd in a way, to have something that I cared about so much about be left and ignored. But at the same time, I never let myself forget it was all there, sitting in its' boxes and waiting to be gotten out again. I think this is because I just don't know what to do with it all; I have no idea if I will carry on a hobby with trains, or let it all slip into the past... In the meantime, I'll post some pictures of the diorama. It looks pretty bad as I only made it in a day, and it's a little damaged after being stored for so long.
