When I was a child, playing with model trains was something we did over Christmas, when the Hornby HO gauge model box would be open and we’d arrange a layout on the kitchen table or the office floor for an afternoon.  Some people take it far more seriously, and my father in law is one of these people.

The music was written by Laura in 2008, and just seemed suitable for a bit of time-lapsery.
