Railways

Talking of railways, a strange thing happened to me when about 10. At that time I collected Lone Star OOO railway - the diecast version before they came along with electric. I was playing with it on the lawn in my parents back garden The lawn was evidently not at all level because I found myself grading my line by carving cuttings and making embankments. Not the sort of thing grown-ups want done with their lawn. The strange thing is that, although I was admonished, I cannot remember being punished. I bless my parents for this show of understanding and wisdom!
