I watched that. It was very good.

One of my school pals had a nice train set. He used to plug the transformers bare wires into the wall socket using a matchstick to hold each wire in.

I love them and always have. Thankful I married a man who was well into railways like I was, and he built a layout around the converted garage that had become a home office. He had two dozen loco's, numerous coaches and wagons, with them running on a full fast and slow track, multi-block system through, my favourite, 'towns' and 'villages' of little houses with small people.  At night it all was lit by hundreds of micro-bulbs. Lovely!! :-* :-* :-* 8) 8) 8)

I and the kids used to "play trains" as hubby sat at his desk and worked!  Now that was fun! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :y :y
