Do you want to be a model railway train driver
If you have ever wanted to be a railway train driver but never got around to it because you grew up and real life got in the way, you were forced to get a proper job and your loco dreams were forced into the background, well I am pleased to say I have the next best thing to being a train driver and that is to have my own model railway trains.
It is not the sort of train set you had when you were a kid, although the principles are the same, instead it is a railway track set up with locos and accessories, that include people standing at the stations, I also have 5 stations in my set up and each one is individually made so it looks and feels different from the station before.
My railway lines also go through distinctly different scenery, I have it set so that the journey goes from a city center location through rural countryside down to the coast.
The city scape is made up of tall skyscrapers and wide roads crammed with people walking and cars in gridlock and flowing along until the buildings get smaller and slowly the countryside emerges from the sprawl of the houses in the suburbs, with cows and sheep in the fields and the roads becoming small and winding.
The countryside gives way to the coastline, with craggy rocks and sandy beaches with people relaxing under the spotlight I have set up to represent the light of the sun.
All right I know it is not the same as driving that train but when you can create a whole journey in your loft making the scenery and adding in places you know then it has to be the next best thing.
