This is where a tall, young, blonde and beautiful Swedish girl stays in your spare bedroom, dusting your layout, keeping the track clean and all the electrical connections etc in tip top order for when you want to use it! Alternatively it could just be that I've reached a difficult age. Wishful thinking? I k now that would not get approval. Mind you Marion isn't keen on visitors. We do have a fold up bed for possible visitor use. Not sure if if is uncomfortable enough to keep any stay short. Should one want to have staying visitors (grandchildren?) the best idea if to have the layout at as high enough height to allow dual use. Perhaps a roll out futon would be the answer.

I think this young ladies leg wear has been discussed before, if not here, then elsewhere (probably in allied Pregrouping topics...). 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is an exceptionally nice uniform and it's definitely a good thing that one has survived and been preserved. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a modeller who wears a red hat at exhibitions, for easy identification. Whilst unmistakable to those of us following this thread, don't you think wearing this outfit at shows might be going a bit too far...??!! 😉🤣🤣 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
