Model Making - Monopoly!

Well sometimes it does seem that my model making does monopolise my time, but this was an opportunity to get the family involved !

Well after all, they are all very creative and artistic, and whilst they had never produced a model railway before I felt sure that with their ability a reasonable layout could be produced fairly quickly for me.  Perhaps most importantly though, is that my normally selfish hobby could be turned around into a family activity where we could all have some input, build some confidence and maybe have some fun along the way.
This centred around a Hornby train set purchased from Argos, and with various additions from a local model shop.

This would never have won any beauty competitions, but it was fully working and functional and think it exceeded all of my original goals.  See what you think?
