My main model railway interest is the transition era, 00 gauge. In my spare hours that nobody has planned anything for me (which is rare!) I enjoy volunteering at the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, and taking railway photos in my local area. I sometime even find the time to do some modelling!!!
None railway...... I have been know to participate in the odd real ale or two, getting out on my bike and spending time with my family.
Don't complain. If it's more important to tidy the house than work on the trainset if you don't own. No one's saying it's more important to tidy the house than work on the model railway!
