Very nice. I've never understood layouts that take great care about just about every feature yet have brio style canal boats stuck on canals with impossible locks.
Thanks, James, me neither. In fact I'm no great fan of railways! They're just an excuse for scenery to me. My big planned layout would have had no movement at all on it, as I think that ruins the impression. I used to produce a series of lineside accessories called Guild Lineside..."the other railway". Just to ram the point home.
I live in Eastern England with my wife and two mad dogs.
I amuse myself making models, painting and writing.
I am "of a certain age", which means of course that the spirit is forever young and free, but the joints are not always so willing, but I haven't ruled out Glastonbury just yet! All they have to do is improve the music and make it free to get in again and we'll be there.
I dislike pettyfogging rulemakers, lickspittles and toadies, laziness of both body AND mind, slubberdegullions and tatterdemalion flibbertigibetts, modern cars generally, ALL Japanese motorcycles and gin-palace boats.
I LOVE estuaries, sheds, old aeroplanes of the sporting type, vintage cars, British motorcycles, wooden boats and progressive rock music, not necessarily in that order.
I'm ambivalent about politics, managers, modern art and most people.
I like quiet, remote places where I can imagine the modern world has not yet made an impact (a hopeless task!)
