So far I have described the construction of the layout in terms of baseboards, track, wiring and scenic work, but, of course, the trains are as important as anything else! I do not build the trains myself as some other modellers do, largely because I know too little about Swiss trains to set about building them; also because such work would take a very long time and I wish to have a layout I can run as soon as possible (perspective shifts as you age: a young person can start building with a view to having a complete layout in, say, fifteen years' time)....

Apologies for "internet silence" for so many weeks. The simple explanation can be seen on my other website, www.mwtrips.co.uk, which details the many trips and tours that I have undertaken now that travel is allowed again!
