ROGER'S MODEL RAIL LAYOUT

So, here are the adventures of Roger over the past weeks (?months). You are looking at one happy chappy!!!! I can tell you, he can't take the smile off his face! So, he's just arrived home exhausted. I will put a beer in his hand and place a lovely Thai dip on the table. I think if he settles in front of the TV and starts to relax he will fall asleep. It's been quite a week.

Last Saturday Stewart (Aussie) and Curt and Louise (Danish) came out for the day and did a lot of work on the model rail layout. Talk about amazing transformation. Then on Tuesday Stewart came out again for the day and did a lot of work Roger is not able to do because it requires 2 hands. On Thursday Bob (American) came out and did all sorts of things!!! Then the boys - Rog, Stu and Bob went out for dinner then came back and worked on the layout until 11.30pm!!

This weekend Roger is displaying his model rail layout - N gauge, Japanese layout - at the FES (School) in Stetten, near Loerrach, Germany. There are many displays but of course Rog is pretty chuffed and thinks his is the best!

So, here are some photo's you have all been holding out for!!!!!

What did I tell you about this grin?

Wils, Louise, Curt and Stryker-Ann

Men always find trains facinating don't they (me too!).

Gaynor said...: Good on you Rog!! There's that Ridley train talent coming out again. You've still got it boyo! Brings back memories of Rog and Charles in Melbourne. Are you bringing it all back home? or will someone get a lucky donation eventually?? lots of love, Cheryl F

I still feel that way. Is there room for me to sit a spell and smile? ha ha!; 14 March 2010 at 10:09
