Railroading in the winter

Proper winters? We used to have those in the UK not to many years ago, with the ground frozen solid December through March and temperatures down to minus god knows. In the days before central heating was standard in the UK the ice used to be on the inside of the windows and the only heat was from the coal fire in the lounge/sitting room. In those days garden railroads were few and far between in England and I can't recall any in the North of the country. The full size railways didn't even run, never mind garden ones. No wonder half the country emigrated to Oz. <br />But it's not like that anymore, we get a bit of frost that's neither here nor there and whilst the full size trains still don't run (can you believe 'the wrong type of snow') the garden ones do! There must be a moral there somewhere? <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[tup]
