I had a 00 layout when I was a kid, which I was really too young for. I've still got a big box full of broken Hornby locos, carriages, wagons and track in my parents' garage in Yorkshire. Haven't looked at it for years ...

I have some 00 Hornby stuff, and always plan on building a layout, but sadly, like many things, I haven't got around to it

I'll also own up to loads of Subbuteo kit, a loft full of Scalextric and a fair number of R/C cars and motorcycles built from kits.
One day I might grow up, but not yet.

That's exactly what they said on the railway modellers forum when I mentioned cycling!

Currently building some gauge 3 wagons for a layout of St Ives station, which will get its first outing at Warley next year.
Also working on a 5" gauge class 14 diesel, though others are doing the technical bits.

Impressed!

when i was a kid my train set was one of my favourite toys; a simple oval (5'x3') with a couple of sidings which slid under my bed. Dad gave it an authentic grassy terrain by painting the board it was nailed to matt green, and i spent many a rainy day making buildings, tunnels and bridges out of cornflake boxes.
I eventually flogged the trains and carriages to a friend who was building a giant post nervous breakdown in his cellar... I saw it several years later and was suitably impressed my trains' new home.
It's still a potential retirement plan.

Here for rides.
a spooky coincidence. Mine all went to finance a Guzzi V50, but the wood-working, electrical, papier mache making, soldering and kit building skills I got through playing with model trains have lasted a lifetime
What did you get with yours btw?
EDIT: But I got so bored this week I actually bought and read a copy of railway modeller!I sometimes fantasise about going back to railway modelling given the amount of room we have spare at home but Mrs Collins would surely evict me.
