Self isolation cabin fever has now got so bad that we’re now talking about model trains. It’s only a small step before we get to LARP

If you have moved to a bungalow, defenestration is less of a threat more of a tantrum?

Mr Wilde spoke most wisely on the matter of golf. I'm sure he would have spoken with similar wisdom on toy trains.

What size of railroad ballast are people recommending for 28mm modelling? (The track is HO IIRC)

Woodland scenics medium ballast and fine ballast in a 50 50 mix. Also great basing material and it lasts forevever.

Golf is banned, cannot do the self isolation bit.

So something good at last.

You do realise in the big wide world, model trains are rated higher than wargaming.

Good work, now what's the best model to use approximating to a small French shunting locomotive circa 1940 that won't break the bank?

(And of course, in an ideal world, I can paint it sooty black and use it for Russia and the Netherlands as well..)

You'll never get a glazier in at the moment...

I shall treat Mr Wilde's wisdom on toy trains with the same degree of respect as I would his marital advice.
