Minitrix did make a 'hat' in the 1960s for promotional use, which had a train running around the 'rim'. One of these was on show at TINGS in 2025. There's a similar one in my kitchen that I built last year...

It's not actually running on the track, there are no wheels fitted, so it's obviously just on some rotating mechanism.

I guess (hope) that's using something Powerbase strips under the track and lots of magnets to hold the stock down very firmly.

A slightly different take on What are You Listening to at the Moment.

This is how I like to listen to music in the evenings :

And for the record, the music is by the Matson 2.

@lil chris I always turn off the stop/start but with Qashqais you have to do that every time you start the car.????
I'll find out in June whether I can ride the bike again :worried:
Shame you missed the Preston show. There was no Warrington show last year either. That and the Wigan one are sorely missed :(
