Is bereft of a railway
Over the weekend I began dismantling my layout to allow me to move to a new room in the house.
As I've been a little depressed and it will be some time before I see any new layout forming I've put all my stock back into their boxes.
Oddly as I was putting the stuff away I did think if I should be swapping out the Kadees for their original couplings. It was almost as if I was resigned already to selling my OO stock and bringing my N gauge back into use.
Not sure how I am feeling at the moment so no rash decisions and I've plenty of space for storing both the N gauge and OO stock.

Fundamental mistake, not binning the boxes when you are sure the new model runs OK. I have been refitting original couplings and finding the original boxes to stock to put on eBay for a friend who is downsizing his stock. Some of its Kitmaster and Triang and he stuck little notes of when locos were serviced inside the bodies, I found a June 1979 one last evening. Trouble is its worth sod all, and only worth half sod all without the original couplings. Should have flogged it back when he stopped using it. Trouble is sell the stock and you could find wife/ partner what ever decides the railway room would make a lovely office/ knitting room/ gymn and you find yourself taking up crochet or fly fishing or Maurice Dancing. Its a slippery slope.

Take up Bowls; great relaxation, until you decide to play in a Competition...…..those you thought were friendly and supportive people become demented competitors who are ruthless. Great fun when you actually win and end against them though, even if it is only one in twenty one (or whatever the number).
