So, we spent some time down in the south a while back, visiting my parents. Now, for me there are many reason to visit, but for the little man there really is only one reason to visit, Grandads model railway. Well, that and the fact that the two of them (and the young lady occasionally) take a trip to the paper shop every morning, which usually involved buying a comic as well!
Anyway, the trains. The little man has been a fan of the trains since Grandad fist got them out a couple of years ago. Now most of the trains are not just toys to my dad but rather expensive collectors items, which lead to my dad buying the little man his very own train, a BR Black 5 or British Railways Standard Class 5MT 4-6-0 as it is officially known as. The little man has also acquired a few carriages and good wagons as his own as well.
The little man and the young lady, had great fun playing with the railway when we were down, running the trains around and around, although the amount of train and carriage changes we had was something to behold!
While we were there the little man wanted me to film the trains running around, so here they are in all there glory.
Here are also a couple of stills of the track in its latest state along with a close up of my favourite vehicle, the good old Landie.
