Childhood model railways

My grandfather used to have the pre battlespace operating giraffe wagon. That was great - you set the trigger thingies up right so it would duck under bridges.

Oh, and the blighter now has my Double Fairlie on permanent loan!

My kit built double OO9 fairlie is currently relegated to a shelf after one of the tiny pins in the motion broke. To small for me too see to repair these days alas.

Some other definite memories there - as a kid I had Nellie and Polly, and later on the black version of the dock shunter.


Did dabble a bit with OO9 but it never quite grabbed me, ditto NN3. I'll stick to real narrow gauge trainsets
