      Why not? Teach them at an early age and take plenty of money with you. Oh and at least a couple of pairs of knickers and a plastic bag!

      I was tempted to switch a few years ago seeing how good the latest D&E models are, but have stuck with 00 - and glad I did as I am now well into modelling 1930s LMS and there's so much available RTR and kits to make this a manageable modelling challenge!
