electric steam

Dad - busy controlling his locomotives














...a visit to my Dad's place (Father's Day)

He is passionate about british steam engines (c1960). Parts of the modeling are taken from my Granddad's layout, which were inherited by my Dad. Dad has been working on this for a few years now - lots and lots of track, wagons, coaches and engines. He models, paints, weathers and rusts. I have done a few myself too.

I have fond memories of my Granddad's layout, which he worked on for years, ever since I could remember. His layout, engines, and modeling work contained stunning detail.

I remember when he switched the room lights off, and the layout lights on. He showed me a small cottage - one of many - which had an internal light. I looked through the window. There was a bookcase, and a man sitting at a desk reading.

fishbud great serie...kinda have that nostalgic feel to it, considering it's a hobby that's being passed down generation to generation in your family.
