Somehow I don't equate the usual G-gauge garden railway with live steam big enough to ride on.  Rather sounds like he was pinned underneath a rollover in a place where crane access was impossible.  I'll bet the weight of the equipment came as an unpleasant surprise to the first responders.

Being of a similar age, I can imagine how long recovery will take.  I wish him well.

(When I first opened this thread I was expecting one of those pseudo-scientific diatribes about the dangers of model stack gasses, awkward working positions, or just breathing what passes for air in industrial Great Britain.)

I think it's time to take his keys away.

Well ain't that just something? Sounds like a plot from a  Stephen King story.

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!
