Why an engineering degree? well in anticipation of the above I have been doing some 'running in' of several new loco's that I have aquired over the past few years with nowhere to run them...YET! I found that the table in the conservatory is just the right size to take a circle of 3rd radius setrack. So out came precious packages from their storage location (a cardboard box!) and on to the extraction of prized loco's from said packages.
Who designs these boxes? Some where quite easy (early Bachmann for example) but the one that took the biscuit was the Hornby package around A3 Brown Jack. After finally managing to extract safely from the two halfs of poly you then have to unscrew two metal bracket from undeneath.
Wonderfull Loco, bags of detail, runs superbly but do we need packaging that takes 10 minutes to take apart?
