One thing that I forgot to put in my list earlier was a large scalextric set from my parents to me and my brothers. It's been about 5 yearssince I'd played with a scalextric, and I'd forgotten how much fun they are. Me and my family have been having great fun with it, and the car's tyrers are already quite well worn down

Once again, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.

I got the complete CD collection of Simon & Garfunkle. :D (thanks to my daughter)

2 signal kits, a crofters cottage kit, and a few detailing items all from Lineside Delights. :D (thanks to my wife)

Xmas was a bit subdued this year, my wife was not feeling too good, and I have had a stinking cold, sore throat and fever for the past few days :(
