    Glad to see it all arrived ok. Vr4 engine compared to morris minor engine lol. Nicely done
    Possibly the only VR4 that was driven by the current owner before being registered..... & it's a UK car

    Tommie, I think you are going to need to rebuild the garage extension.

    Looks great.

    fantastic!!!!!!!!!!
    i bought a hornby train set for my self last christmas ( wanted one since i was a child ), had some good fun with it.
    but the fact of watching thomas,percy etc seems so much more apeeling !!!!!!
    i think i may be scanning ebay for a set for the mrs for christmas
    love the part on the vid about vr-4 engines and morris minors

    Heres a video of Seans first sight of the major thomas train set, christmas day 2010
    Sean will shake his arm and legs when really excited, as can be seen in this video.
    A happy final chapter to a CVR4 saga.
    Thanks again Chris AKA " Kryton"
    Seans twin brother Cashel went into the room 1st to start the trains running before Sean entered.

    No Steve, theres a lot more in the 4 boxes I keep hidden from Sean till I figure where I can include them.
    The layout in the video, pretty much takes over the sitting room.
