I do have some pics of my childhood layout somewhere, but given my current location I'm not able to look for them. Here, however are a couple of items from that layout from my albums, photo-bombing the B&CE.

Operating helicopter car (note that this model even pre-dates the Battlespace one):



Triang yard crane comes to the rescue of a broken Poole Farish Flying Scotsman:

I thought emjaybee's posts were great too, and that was an impressive OO Gauge railway.

He, and I am sure many others, will remember that the Tri-ang 0-4-0 of his first train set had a top speed of about a scale 200 mph. We had one, plus a diesel on the same chassis, and used to race them.

Oh, they've let me out - unfortunately so I could go to another hospital!

As to when they let me home, you've got as much idea as I have -

Dunno!

You've been in there an awful long time, George. When are they going to let you out?

As we slide into autumn here, the Old Pacific Sea (as Barry Mackenzie called it) looks magnificent from Bealman's hospital window this morning. Yes, I'm out of bed in-between visits from the dripalator:

That's so true (said Bealman, propped up in his hospital bed)

Hope it all gets sorted.

What a wonderful layout   And I've only watched 25% of it so far.
Modelling at its best

That is excellent. Like Chris, I've only watched a tiny bit of it, but will watch the rest. Pete Waterman certainly had competition there!

All Uber cool.

That is so true, and apart from moving house, that's exactly what I do. But seeing as I'm in hospital, I guess I've even done that this year. I'm not sure it's this weekend here anyway!

Not that it means much to me - in the words of Phil Collins, " Just another day in dripadise"
