The joy of sets..

[vernon]

Anyone interested in model railways and/or social history will enjoy The Joy of (Train) Sets episode from the Timeshift series on BBC 4. I've just watched it on TV and it rekindled so many memories of Hornby tin plate, Hornby Dublo, Triang/Rovex and the demise of steam locomotives.

The iPlayer catch up is here

Enjoy.

At this time of night, in this depth of snow?

We are currently snowless, yes, snowless, and the temp is above freezing too, with my trusty winter garb making me look like a cycling ninja, no problem
