Model Railways

[Mainspire]

Alongside airsoft, real firearms, and my older BMW that I've been fixing up.

Damn it, heres a past time I had completely forgotten about, but looking at those pictures has made me think the loft needs converting into a lego train themed rail way. Yes I have a problem with lego, it just won't go away. After getting help with my P90 fixation, lego took over. Maybe I should go back to the P90 love.

 

I already have a space theme lego monorail set, oh *suitcase*, I've already started to plan it out in my head, at least the P90 didn't take up much room!

My younger brother has a massive lego obsession, especially with the castles and medieval sets. So does my cousin who's a year younger than me.

 

And then I once collected those posable 1/6 scale figures. Back when Ultimate Soldier and Dragon Toys were pretty much JUST starting out in this line. My younger bro caught the fever from me and now has a very sizable collection of WWII figures easily worth £5k.

I do apologise if this is a thread bump, have only just found it.

 

I've also been interested in railways since I was a wee nipper, in fact my father used to take me out on weekend day trips to sample the proper trains of British Rail's pre-privitisation, namely the locomotive hauled Oxford-Paddington and Waterloo-Exeter Network SouthEast expresses. Oh my kingdom for a decent

 

Ironically enough I now work at the station involved in the link I posted above, and we only get Turbo units and High Speed Trains (or InterCity 125s for those who remember the adverts) now.

 

Anyone interested I've got a few railway related videos up on my YouTube

No matter what, there is no more expensive hobby than CARS, especially when you like to take them to the track.

 

Mine's just rinsed me of about £700 in the past month, and that's compulsory expense, not just me going mad with fancy bits and bobs

What do you have?

I do have a model railway (more of a 'train set' doesn't really model anything and is just a a oval shape...). But it is currently sitting on it's side in the shed with no trains or buildings on it... All this talk is making me want to fix it up again, but a lack of room is stopping me...

 

Aside from that airsoft is my only serious hobby. Oh and messing about on computers, if that counts. I find loads of things interesting, but I don't consider any of them to be my hobbies...
