Inspire Others With A Photo Of Your Layout, or Share a Clever Tip On This Blog

April 6, 2020

Most of the world is stuck indoors, but we in the model railroading community share a wonderful common interest in the world’s greatest indoor hobby. I have friends that usually fill in their days gardening, or playing golf or tennis, and apart from perhaps watching TV or reading a book, have no indoor hobbies to keep them busy. They are doing it particularly tough, as are those who have been personally touched by the sad loss of a love one or friend.

Although it would be great to instantly return to life as normal, at the moment we all just need to hunker down and make the best of a bad situation. I know model railroading could be seen by many as a form of escapism, but we all need to stay strong, healthy and sane as we stay safe whilst hoping and praying for the return of better times. Keep busy and hopefully the days will pass by quicker and with a little less boredom and worry.

Helping others is also a great way to stay in touch and keep positive. That’s why I would welcome any articles, tips, layout photos you can share on this community blog. Send in your suggestions and tips by using one of the many ‘Ask a Question’ links on this page. If you have a photo to share (only one per person please), let us know in the same way and we will let you know how to email it to us for publication. Share a photo and a few words about your favorite locomotive, or a piece of scenery you are working on or completed, or a building you are constructing. I’m sure others would like to see what you are up to.
