Generally, I find model railways boring & ridiculously un-involving, and never in the least bit realistic despite the claims and efforts of those who model them.

Except.

The Heaton Lodge Model railway. Nay model railway is not the right term, miniature recreation in minute detail. A capture in time.

The frost detail, the blown vegetation, the broken trackside signal furniture, the vehicles, the fencing, the people - the track worker in dirty hi viz knealing by a trackside cabinet. The air of 1980s lack of investment, I could go on...... Its almost an art form.

Now now, model railway layouts are brilliant. Channel Five certainly thought so.

Oh the realism.

Thanks for the winces, you two.

Do you know, I've got to the ripe old age of 59 and only just worked out that Santa and Father Christmas are different people. Santa lives at the North Pole, and Father Christmas lives in Lapland.

My my.
