I am no longer young and the eyesight is not what it was and the hands are a bit shaky. So my ambitions in Z gauge (American short line) and 009 ('Fictitious Caernarfon and Llanberis Railway') are not going to happen. So have reverted to the 30's and good old chunky Meccano/Hornby 0 gauge. Only just started on this adventure but so glad to discover that there is still interest. Although all thye engines I have so far are clockwork. its the 'railwayness ' that I love. Hefty metal things and no plastic - that's what the first 120 years of railways was all about.
