New Neighbour - New Best Friend

[GNRi1959]

Our new neighbour Mike, a retired London city chef called in today. His wife died soon after they retired and moved to Ireland. He told me he had a model railway in his shed so he wanted to say hello and invite me over. He had a lovely little N-gauge layout which was probably about 3' x 2' and in that small space had three engines running, a long train of passenger coaches and quite a lot of wagon stock. The layout had several points, bridges and flyovers. I couldn't believe how much was crammed into such a small space and although it was quite small, compared to 00, I was really impressed by this busy little layout. Just think of what you could do on a bigger baseboard!

I recently changed to N gauge American on a 5' x 2' 8" board. It's amazing what you can fit into a small space.

Sorry no pictures but he has invited me back to help him with a bottle of red wine.
