Time for a laugh!

Having spent yesterday at my Dad's house, a spot of running was inevitable. After re-soldering a wire or two on his 50+ year old OO Princess Elizabeth, out came the 'trains'!

Apologies for the oversize subject in the imagery, but 23 years on my favourite childhood loco still runs perfectly!



And here I am, 23 years ago recieving said loco.



Anybody else got any similar Then & Now's they can share?

I think my Mum still has a photograph of me aged 8 receiving a Triang Hymek for Christmas.
52 years later here I am with 3 of them in N gauge

Thank you for posting your pictures 

I would have loved to see your face when your favourite loco started up again after 23 years 

cheers John.

It brought a smile to my face, then an evil glint as I remembered the great 37 vs 47 battles me and my brother used to have!

I was thinking this morning, the train set I received this Christmas  was 50 years after the last train set I had at Christmas ( a triang breakdown set) !
