well, it was my first post of 2009 anyway!

Nice train set there Marty. I had The Flying Scotsman I think but always wanted the 125.

This is The Age.... of The Train

Quite correct Ed

I would have posted sooner but was watching a thread on the FCF that had a post made into it at exactly 00:00

Somewhere in the dark depths of the attic I have a train set of the Australian "Ghan" train that runs between Adelaide, Alice Springs and Darwin.

One day I would love to ride the real thing...

Have you got an APT125? The one that was meant to tilt. Or are you more of a steam guy?

I do indeed have an APT and just like your ebay seller, mine's in the loft, but mine's still in it's boxes after our move last year.

Not really a steam person, I just about missed that era.

Must've been not quite as sober as I thought!

And a BIG Happy New Year from me as well.
This new leap second is making me feel jetlagged
