The fella in the background (the one with the beard) has loads of trains, and (get this) a track in his garden. I think he is the club gaffa. One of his trains can run for 1 1/2 hours on coal, he's the man.

that report is THE BEST report I have ever read stu. Normally I would not be interested in smelly old trains, but you made in interesting

You should contact one of the model train mags, no, all of them and sell it to them all. I think it would get a younger hipper audience into the "train scene"

I'm going to sound really sad now, but, whem I'm 70 years old and too slow to be able to control 2 channels I'll be doing this. The trains are actually nice things and the old lads were having a really good time.

Cheers Richard, I'm glad I made you chuckle.

I stopped short of asking any of the exhibiters to demostrate a cum-face, I thought this may get an unwelcome reaction.

Hmm, pipes seemed to be missing, maybe 'cos it was at an indoor venue.

One fella had a proper 'train drivers' steel lunch box filled with plain corned beef butties, no poncie tupperware or Branston for him. G thought his Mum had probably made them up for him.

You could have called me in for an 'expert' opinion. Fortunatly cos my track (real) is so good I've never had to go to one!
