A very long model train track

Thanks for that Ian. A world full of James Mays would be a nicer place indeed.
I'd recommend everyone had a look at James' "Toy" videos.  They are simply fantastic, and heart warming.  The first episode I saw was where he built a full size "Airfix" model Spitfire (1:1 scale).
Just this past couple of days I watched his attempt to build and fly a model glider across the English Channel.  Brilliant!!  I won't give any more away.  Have a look yourself.  It's an hour well spent.
