I love the engineering in them as well. There is something marvellous about watching all those bits and pieces of a steam engine working away. I reflect that a long time back someone dreamt up the idea for it and then designed it - made the components and then constructed it, simply wonderful.

I love my slot cars - I pulled down my train track to put in a slot car track but now I want to pull down my slot track (and build another one) to put in some train track.

Trains as a hobby are as varied as slot cars - for me I like driving and watching trains chug around a layout and I like make scenery to create a miniature world.

I just spend a few dollars on this engine. Its big 1:20.3 scale Shay Locomotive for those that don't have a scale reference I should post a photo next to a 1/32 car - this one is about 60cm long and weighs around 5kg
I don't have a garden track (or and indoor one at the moment either) but couldn't pass up this beauty
