Yep it's a difficult balance getting back to fitness, you just have to listen to your Physio and persevere.

Been feeling a bit under the weather today but I've made some progress with the scenic parts of my layout.  Decided to reward myself with a bit of playing trains.  Impressed with how well my Dapol 28xx works as a shunting loco, crawling through settrack points.  Combined with magnetic couplings there is something quite therapeutic about arranging rakes of wagons.

  Nice phone call from Hattons just now about a small order I sent this morning apologising that they could not send it Royal Mail but would need to courier it at an extra £2. No argument from me. Great service and a  bouncing customer here

Well the original order was placed at 10.15 Sunday morning. The phone call from Hattons came at 14.45 and the package arrived at 08.55 today (Monday)
Superb service 

Certainly can't fault that service, Jon

Just found out from Lydia

I'm going to be having a Grandson   

Now what is his first "N" loco going to be

Congrats Dave, I see they do Thomas the Tank in N Gauge going to be ordering mine up when they are back in stock.  Happy Days

Huge congratulations, Dave
Hope Lydia is doing better now.

As for the first steamer - what would Uncle Hattons recommend or, maybe more to the point, what will come through from Farish

If it's good enough for Stanier eh Dave......
Congrats to you ,your family and to Lydia mate.....

Hi all 

Good news for once 

Just got back from visiting the hospital and we have been informed that they are going to send Lydia home tomorrow   

With frequent clinic visits and a rake of medication 

Dads taxi service will be at breaking point 



dave 

Good news indeed, Dave
I bet it was the request for a car park season ticket that prompted them to do that
After all, they said Lydia would remain in the hospital until your grandson arrived, and then you asked for a parking subsidy
