As a child many years ago i remember one Christmas of waking up on Christmas morning and looking to see what father Christmas had brought me , and there it was ,.
Hornby clock work train set . it had the rails which slotted together. a signal, then the train itself which was a clockwork wind up type and two carriages, and i played with that set for many years, fast forward to today
one of my sons friends is a railway enthusiast and has built up his own railway set, of course its a state of the art technology to see as its complete with a varied track lay outs, with even the sound of train doors closing, announcements being made over a tannoy system, and it has a number of miniature trains, and stations, and platforms and a number of trains all running at the same time , really fascinating, to watch,
this man and his friends who also are enthusiasts, also have their own tracks and train versions, as they go as a group touring all over the place as they put on fascinating railway exhibitions ,for the general public to see,
so for some men i suppose the little boy is still there, but very much advanced with todays technological electronics , how ever i suppose the miniature railways with all the accessories is fascinating to watch .
For the girls back in the past the fasciation of dolls and dolls houses several that my wife had then over time, as we went to a number of dolls house exhibitions again very fascinating to see,
Q; so what were your childhood memories ,of yesteryear, and will you share them with us,
