Hi guys

How many of you have these sometimes annoying wagons with a military theme and don't use them because they are toys!! even though some of the wagons would be quite good if it wasn't for that military theme

You will not ditch them because your parents bought them for you all those years ago as a gift

I wondered about this looking at the new Hornby web site with its New WD wagons and after seeing an old set on EBay that has a military theme

Well I have no idea what that kind of place looks like and wondered about how these relics of child hood that have sentimental value could be worked into a model railroad in a convincing way with an extra siding that is just for them and shared perhaps with your own children.

Or when the now grandparents visit you can say Mum remember this I still have it

How would you deal with it work it in some how or relegate it to a shelf out of sight only to be used when no one is looking

regards John
