Not exactly a whif, but I hope crazy enough

Well, what can I say... I found myself back to trains...
I had built, more than 20 years ago, a showcase and started a multi-level track system,not yet a layout, that should cover all the room (actually a mezzanine), going around some stairs with mobile tracks.

Trying to clean up and make some order in the mezzanine, I got unwillingly pushed back to working on the tracks.
So, I am continuing with the upper level, have nearly completed the descending circuit.

To pass over the open part of the mezzanine, I had to use some high scaffolding. I hope my loco drivers won't suffer from dizziness as the track run about 350 scale metres high.

I have also cleaned and redone one side of the main level.

Work is moving ahead, I am enjoying woodworking a lot.

Ye gods, that's AWESOME!

Makes my American N Gauge layout look like a toy!

Do you live in an old church or school? You have lots of space in there!

Is that 00gauge?

No, it's the NORMAL scale and gauge: H0.

I had the luck of inheriting LOONG ago an old house, with reasonable dimensions. Of course, this is the hobby part, the living zone is somewhat more civilized.

Being a bachelor, I can do as I wish without the relentless female control.

It does have some advantages

One of my neighbours has a OO or HO gauge track running round his kitchen and dining room walls on a narrow shelf just above the height of the window and door lintels.
I've never seen it working though.

I've got my part-built HO gauge American logging track on a shelf in what's laughingly called 'The Office' and it runs along one wall, round the corner via the top of the (non-functional) fireplace and along the next wall too.

Well it would run if I could get to it, but there's lots of 'stuff' in the way at the moment. Plus there's no scenery.................yet...........
