It was hart braking doing this as so much work had been done on this layout, it took me a whole day just to pack away all his rolling stock, locos. The rail...

      Each to his own, I say. The one thing that we cannot buy is extra modelling time, so acquiring items built by others helps get round that problem.

      The thing is I am the only one who works at night and their is no one to cover me ,a few years ago I broke my collier bone in twice places, had to phone them every day to let them know how I was doing!.

      In the end they pestered me so much ,that I was almost forced back to work only after a few weeks later.

      Working in a bad boys boarding school is not the place to be with broken bones, all they are interested in is that you are here and doing your job!.

      apparently drink a glass of water with some lemon juice in each day, or say a glass of pineapple juice....i.e. something acidic helps keeps kidney stones smaller....of course your diet can still overcome such measures.....beter than wallowing horse tablets tho'
