    The collected works of Charles Dickens can be a tough read...

     

    but they are excellent for weighing down track while the glue dries...

      Must try that. Haven't had much luck with Wikipedia.

      I bought them for my Kindle for pence - but no used for weighting tracks.

       

      I've been working my way through them now for the best part of a year - nothing tough about them; a delight to read. Dickens' writing is the perfect time machine - a panoramic window to the past, with quite a few railway references from the

      'Railway Mania' years.

       

      When you've finished track laying, read the books!

       

      John Isherwood.

      Our Mutual Friend is particularly appropriate as the postscript describes Dickens experience of the Staplehurst derailment.
