    I may be ordering a train set today.

    For work of course.

    I thought this one might be fun:

    I still remember the disappointment one Christmas of getting a Hornby train set instead of a Scalextric.

    Tried to spice it up by building some inclines to see how quickly the motor would burn out.
    Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

      And you'll need a couple of depressed looking human figures you can throw in front of the train to cause a delay.

          When I was about seven, I wanted a train set and went on about it for almost a year.

          Imagine my disappointment when i got a CLOCKWORK one with a circular track.

          If i'd got my hands on that Santa bastard, I'd have kicked his **** in

            Get a Mini Scalextric track, much more exciting that just trundling around an oval of track, and at least you can have a race with someone.

              That reminds me of yesterday's story on Jeremy Clarkson

              Jeremy Clarkson: 'execute' public sector workers, says BBC Top Gear host - Telegraph

              The veteran television presenter and newspaper columnist, whose show is broadcast on BBC Two, also complained about being delayed by people throwing themselves in front of trains.

                A level crossing, eh? Then you obviously need both rail and road, erm, for realism, of course.

                  I once tried that with a hornby and scalextric to recreate the end of Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974) - IMDb.

                  It was a stalemate with everything broken.
