Boys and their toys






David and I were in York over the weekend. We paid a visit to a model railway exhibition where for the price of £4 we could play the Fat Controller, pressing lots of buttons to may trains stop and go and other buttons that lit up buildings, made cars fall over the edge of roads and so on. And if that wasn't enough, we then went to the National Railway Museum to play on full scale toys! Anoraks at the ready - here are some of the photos!
I normally tell people off when they take photos of people who look tiny in the picture against a huge backdrop. I have made an exception witht he 4th picture above. That train was so huge I have the picture of me next to it just to let people see just what a big one it is.....
Seeing the Japanese bullet train sparked an interest in going to Japan. We added it to our already oversized travel list.
