1997 – Model railways – More than just trains

I’d like to point you towards a YouTube Channel run by a chap who labels himself as SirDork. He shoots pictures of toys, but in a special kind of way, making scenes involving action. I’d highly recommend that you take a look at his channel:

I’d quite like to do something similar, but I’m not sure if I could get hold of the flashbangs he uses to generate his effects, plus, as a beginner, I’m not sure if I’d be able to go anywhere near the effort he puts into his pictures, which are most impressive.

I’ve wanted to have a working model railway layout for a very long. time. I remember my father buying a model railway and setting it up on the dining table. Obviously, it didn’t stay like that for long, and I can remember only one time when it was set up. But, the track, the engine (which I think was an A4 class, look up Sir Nigel Gresley), it’s here though: https://bit.ly/A4_Class stayed with me, unused, for a very long time.

I honestly don’t think it will ever come to pass. A big problem preventing it is that as my hands shake, I can’t put a OO gauge passenger car back on the track. If it is not possible with Double-O, it would be even more difficult with N-Gauge, the scale I was proposing to build.

Given the size and style changes to the existing model, to which I do have access, there are some quite exciting locations and scenes which I can film. Take, for example, the scene in the header picture. The building in the distance has been badly burned. As there are no ambulances around, everyone must have got out and are either on their way to the hospital, or gone to the neighbours for a cup of tea. Why not join us?

I just want to write, but I prefer to stay away from controversial topics like politics. I am happy to confess that at the moment, I am writing for me. If you enjoy my writings, and I hope you do then that is all the better.
