Never complain again - Glendower

After seeing this video I will never complain about anything related to my beloved hobby again, such as I don't have enough room, I built the bench work too low and now my back hurts.....

Fantastic layout.

It made me very nostalgic for the country I was born in.

I was born in London England, and was raised in Three Bridges, Sussex.

A few hundred feet from a major train depot.

Travelled on trains a lot when I was young, to school , to church etc.

I went to school in Crawley, Sussex. and later to school in Ifield Sussex, then Horsham Sussex.

I moved to Canada at the age of 17.

I have only been on a train maybe 5 times since

I am now 70 years old.

Can you imagine small children going down there?! It must be absolute magic for them due to size and proximity. If you notice it appears he even drilled through the cinder block footings. Given it's England, you have a lot of moisture and temperature issues, but it looks like he overcame all that. Got to give him credit.
