Did you know that on any given weekend there are model railway shows all over the country?

(Sorry to anorak )

If you have children who love miniature worlds have a look at this website - some shows sound more interesting than others, but they're all pretty child-friendly, and indoors which is such good news at this time of year!

We have this right at the bottom of our road.

That's outdoors though, COV!

(Also quite a bit bigger than eg Hornby )

Yes and it is only really through the summer, but did I mention it is at the bottom of my road? . Fab way to entertain ds for a summer afternoon, take a picnic, no driving/parking hassles.

It's nearly as anorak-y as those straaaaange people who get together to push little toy soldiers around a play base isn't it??!

As a mother of a DS who is madly into model railways and pushing model figures around a play base in a game that involves 6 dice and a tape measure...

they are as bad a each other

and he is an anorak

He has had no encouragement from me for either of these hobbies.

Yes but presumably he is a child Clarice, not some sad old fecker with no life and an anorak... so that's ok!
