Sorry to hear the way things have turned out for you Dwayne, both with regards to your lingering limp, and the personal circumstances. But it's good that you are being positive about it. Good luck with the house modification, and best wishes for your 'bachelorhood'. At least you will have plenty of ...

Muntjac?

GWLR's 'Eric Arthur' on Lindeth Light Railway tracks, about to return to home rails.

Shows off the leaded lights in the carriages, and I like the brake squeal on the railbus too.

Purchased at Llanfair last year, and intended as a winter project, this was how far I got with these kits before breaking my forearm in February.

And some Talyllyn to finish from me, for the time being...
