I blame my mother. She used to take me to watch trains on the station footbridge at Barrow On Soar while my dad was asleep on shiftwork.

45mm for me. I got into this malarkey following a visit to Warley about 10 years ago and seeing a Bachmann Annie on a stall. I bought it & collected a fair amount of American stuff, but circumstances changed and I had to sell 99% of it. So now I am rebuilding but with British or freelance equipm...
