                                        Careering about 'twixt outrage and the outlandish. Friday, December 07, 2007. Under Dubya's tree, from Osama, hugs and kisses. While having a little holiday weekend up North recently the Hornby landscapes, Airfix kits and shiny stuff in the window of a toy emporium, the Monk Bar Model Shop. Caught the eye. In we went, marvelling at the intricacies of the models, the attention to detail, the whiff of train set, etc, etc, in a happily distracted mode of nostalgia and pre-Christmas random gift perusing.

                                        War Diaries of a Little Englander. Being the toy soldier, wargaming and kit bashing ramblings of a middle-aged Englishman. A gaping silken dragon,/Puffed by the wind, suffices us for God./We, not the City, are the Empire's soul:/A rotten tree lives only in its rind.'. Friday, 26 December 2014. I am your father. That is, indeed, the case, but it didn't stop my own Luke Skywalker from thrashing me at a festive game of Star Wars X-Wing:. Sunday, 21 December 2014. Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow. And as the ...

                                        My ever growing N scale empire, loosely based on the Gotthardbahn of Switzerland. February 26, 2012. REVIEW: MiniTrix 12455 DB V300 with Sound. I have heard very few people say good things about sound in N scale. Well, I'm about to buck the trend. This V300 has been rock solid, both as a locomotive and as a locomotive with sound. That is, even if it didn't have sound, I'd be very happy with it, and the sound performance has been flawless. Is the sound distorted? Does is sound bad when turned up? German F...
