A different Train of thought
« on: October 18, 2012, 08:32:56 PM »
Being as we all share the same Motorcycle Model or at least a slight fascination of sorts.

My query is simple or it can be complex (for the rivet counters that is). :||||

My other hobby is G-Scale or Garden Scale model trains - These run on a 45mm gauge track.
LGB, Bachmann, Aristocraft just to name a few Brands

Do any other members also dabble in the arts so to speak.

Same principle, just smaller scale. Anyhow I'll leave it for you to gauge.... :crackup

I must also be over qualified as I have been with QR National and QR for over 37 years, 27 years as a Locomotive Driver
through Queensland. I may have even met you Sabie as I was in Hughenden and Cloncurry many years ago

Hi Leo, I did most of my time in Gladstone, but some short stints at Townsville and Alpha. Left in 2005 to take up a career with the Fire Service.

I think that's a derailing rather than a hijacking.
