My four year old has been stuck at home recovering from surgery for the past couple of weeks so I decided that made it the ideal time to rebuild the Metroliner that I got for my 6th birthday and liberated from my parents loft last year. I've since been eBaying and Bricklinking loads of extra track (far more than shown below), along with the Club Car that I lusted after as a child and a more modern station.
It's been a big hit with my daughter who loves opening the carriages up and putting the people in and out, and frankly I'm enjoying it rather a lot in the evenings too!
Sadly with the interest rates the way they are, the dream of owning somewhere big enough to have a large permanent layout isn't happening any time soon, but I shall keep this out as long as I can until my long-suffering wife cries enough...
